Faculty Highlight

Sabrina González
Sabrina González is a Ph.D. in Latin American History from University of Maryland (UMD). Her book manuscript entitled: “Schools as Laboratories: Science, Children’s Bodies, and School Reformers in the Making of Modern Argentina (1880-1930)” studies the historical processes by which school teachers in South America used education as a tool for emancipation and built a transnational school reform movement that both challenged and contributed to children’s disciplining. In Argentina, she has taught multiple classes at public universities, high schools, and alternative schools for adults. Since 2006, she has been working with social movements as a communicator, educator, and student and labor organizer. As an advocate for community building and collective action, at UMD co-founded the Latin American Studies Center Writing Group and the Latin American Studies Center Graduate Student Collective, and served as the co-president of the History Graduate Student Association (2018-2019). Dr. González was recently hired as a postdoctoral associate in the Graduate School, supporting the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and the Graduate School Writing Center.
