We’re happy to announce that Jenny Seman is the newest addition to our blog crew. Jenny is a PhD candidate in American History at Southern Methodist University and has an interest in the history of women, gender, and spirituality in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Her dissertation work focuses on faith healing and curanderismo. She also serves as a graduate student representative on the Women’s and Gender Studies Council at SMU. Please join me in giving her a warm welcome!

At the top of the page, you’ll see three tabs: 1930-1979 Borderlands Historiography, 2011 Borderlands Books and Articles, and 2012 Borderlands Books and Articles. The pages are in a very early stage with many gaps which we hope to fill little by little. Please take the time to help us out by adding references in the comments. Our hope is that by the combined efforts of borderlands historians, we will be able to put together a comprehensive set of lists on borderlands scholarship that can serve as a useful resource.
