Biography:
Mary Strasma has received numerous fellowships from the University of Minnesota. She has considerable experience teaching Latin American history and world history at the University of Minnesota, St. John’s University, and Shepherd University. Her research into historical memory and place (in Mexico as well as Chile) leads her to present history as a debate made up of diverse opinions. She anticipates teaching courses on various regions of Latin America (the Southern Cone and the Caribbean) as well as thematic courses such as human rights in Latin America, place and memory, and topics in world history.
