Professor Folsom will spend academic year 2008-2009
on a post-doctoral fellowship at the Clements Center
at Southern Methodist University where he will be working
on a book exploring the complex relationship between
Yaqui Indians and invading Spanish imperial forces in
colonial Mexico. In the face of Spanish conquest, his
monograph examines how Yaquis managed to establish a
sphere of cultural autonomy in the colonial northwest
via a mix of political shrewdness and violence. He has
an article under review and has presented his research
at several conferences. Professor Folsom's course offerings
include Spain in America and surveys of colonial
Latin America. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University.
