Jonathan Ablard

Bio: I am a historian of Latin America and the Caribbean at Ithaca College. In addition to teaching general surveys, I also offer courses on public health, revolution and counterrevolution, literature and dictatorship, conspiracy theories, and commodities. My book Madness in Buenos Aires: Patients, Psychiatrists, and the Argentine State, 1880-1983 was published in 2008. Since then, I have published articles on the history of military conscription in Argentina, conspiracy theories, and obesity in Latin America. My current work is a survey of conspiracy theories in Latin America.
