Steve Volk, Professor of History and Director of the Teaching Center at Oberlin, teaches Latin American history and museum studies. His courses include a course in "Museums and the Shaping of History" (taught in Oberlin and in London), as well as a survey of Latin American history, courses on U.S. relations with Latin America, late 20th century dictatorships in the Southern Cone countries, the Mexican Revolution, “Narrating the Nation” (with Anu Needham), and first-year seminars on imagery and on human rights. His research increasingly focuses on understanding the power of images and artifacts, addressing issues of gender and the border, Frida Kahlo and Mexican nationalism, and Chilean history. He is currently working on a book tentatively titled Not a Part of History We’re Proud Of: Chile, the Overthrow of Allende, and the Shaping of American Historical Memory. |
