In "The Ghost of the Roosevelt Corollary and the Lies behind Intervention," Marlon Londoño compares U.S. "distortion of Latin American political culture to justify intervention" in the early 20th c. vs. today, bringing in the silent film "Garras de oro." ageofrevolutions.com/2026/03…

Recently learned that Notre Dame’s “touchdown Jesus” was inspired by the Juan O’Gorman mosaic on the central library at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Got to see both this month for my new job. 😍

Since it’s my official start date, I wanted to share that I am now a Postdoctoral Research Associate @KelloggInst @NotreDame. I’ll be spending the next 1-2 years finishing my book and working with some amazing colleagues on publishing an edited volume. A Hoosier once again. 🌸

Any historians/scholars affected by DOGE? I'm writing my book on the history of the War on Terror, which relies upon oral histories published by the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). DOGE killed it, sadly. And now the links to those oral histories are dead. Keep the citations, yes?
