Myrna Santiago
“The Ecology of Oil: Labor, Environment and the Mexican Revolution, 1900-1938”

Veracruz, Mexico’s first oil-producing state, set the pattern for oil exploitation in the rest of the country. Professor Santiago will discuss the social and environmental effects of oil production in northern Veracruz during the early 20th century when the industry was owned by American and European companies.

Myrna Santiago earned her Ph.D. in History at UC Berkeley in 1997. She has lectured at UC Berkeley and at Mills College and is now Associate Professor of History at St. Mary’s College and Director of the Women’s Studies Program.
