FACULTY NEWS & EVENTS
Race and Place in Central America
Studying the history of a region without the inclusion of race may leave unanswered questions about its political and social evolution. To address what he considered a less-than-holistic view of Central America, Justin Wolfe, Tulane associate professor of history, has spent much of his career studying the dynamics of race in 19th-century Nicaragua.

Richard Teichgraeber publishes a new book on American intellectual life in the age of industrialization
Professor Richard Teichgraeber had published a new book Building Culture: Studies in the Intellectual History of Industrializing America (U. of South Carolina Press, 2010). From the publisher: Building Culture expands on Teichgraeber's earlier work to offer important insights on the meanings of 'culture' in American intellectual history in the age of industrialization and sectional reunification. Teichgraeber makes particularly compelling use of two primary examples -- the elevation of Ralph Waldo Emerson as the chief voice of American culture for his generation and the infusion of American universities into public life as agencies of enlightening reform and academic freedom. This exploration of foundational episodes in the history of American culture is well grounded in the author's original research as well as thoughtful readings of the extant literature, and it is certain to be of great interest to scholars in history, literature, education, communication, American studies, and cultural theory.
