Dr. Steven Hyland

Biography

Steven Hyland has taught in the Department of History and Political Science since 2011. A scholar of modern Latin America and transnational migration and political movements, he is fascinated by the movements of people and ideas and how each has an impact on sending and receiving societies. His first book, which will be published by University of New Mexico Press in 2017, examines Arabic-speaking immigrants in northwestern Argentina during the first half of the twentieth century. It is, in many ways, a love story. His current book project explores itinerant anti-imperial and nationalist radical political activists residing in and passing through Buenos Aires, Argentina between 1916 and 1966. This study follows a motley crew of hell raisers, spies, ne’er-do-wells, and people committed to radical change in order to create a better world.
