I got a membership earlier this year. Support local news in DC! @51st.news was founded after WAMU gutted DCist. Help them reach their membership/fundraising goal--DC is going to face so many challenges in the next few years, and we need good local reporting to be prepared!

There's a new essay by Douglas McRae taking a look at the development of Latin American urban history, as reflected in the pages of The Americas. It's a great teaching tool, and it is Open Access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Anybody have suggestions for student-run anthro/geography journals that would publish undergrad work? A former student of mine wants to publish a paper on water infrastructure+public space in Medellín that they wrote for my urban water history course last spring. Thanks!

I find this photo (used on the cover of Ariel De La Fuente's Children of Facundo) to be fascinating. A photo of gaucho montoneros (followers of "Chacho" Peñaloza) captured in 1863, taken at the request of D.F. Sarmiento, then-governor of San Juan, Argentina.
