Department of History, Doctoral Candidate Michael Aguirre
Big Congratulations to Michael D. Aguirre, who was just awarded a prestigious fellowship from the Center for Engaged Scholarship, to continue work on his dissertation.
The fellowship is designed to support graduate student research into topics that promote a more ‘democratic, more egalitarian, and more environmentally sustainable society.”
Aguirre’s work looks at the Eastern California borderland of Imperial County, California and Mexicali, Baja California, as a site to explore class, citizenship and labor activism from 1964-1979 - a period which saw a shift from Keynesianism to Neo-Liberalism in the global political economy.
We can’t wait to read it!
