María Eugenia Vázquez Semadeni – “Concepts in Action: Sovereignty and Republican Political Culture in Post-Independent Mexico, 1821-1828”

February 18, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

María Eugenia Vázquez Semadeni served as Tinker Visiting Professor at Stanford University in 2014. She received a PhD (2008) and an MA (2005) in History from El Colegio de Michoacán and a BA in Culture Science from the Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana in Mexico City (2002). Her research focuses on the political culture, republican languages, freemasonry, the formation of secular civil society, and political parties of nineteenth and twentieth-century Mexico.

She is the author of the book La formación de una cultura política republicana. El debate público sobre la masonería, México 1821-1830 (UNAM/El Colegio de Michoacan 2010) [The Formation of a Republican Political Culture. Public Debate about Freemasonry, Mexico 1821-1830], as well as co-editor and co-author of 200 Emprendedores Mexicanos. La formación de una nación (LID 2010) [200 Mexican Entrepreneurs. The Formation of a Nation]. In addition, she has published several articles and book chapters on Mexican freemasonry, the origins of the political parties system in Mexico, the formation of public opinion, and Hispanic American parliamentarianism. She is currently working on a new book manuscript in English that examines the process of state formation in Mexico from independence in 1821 to the post-revolutionary 1930’s through the lens of freemasonry.
