PhD. History
University of California at San Diego, 1998
Adriana Novoa received her BA in History from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She did graduate work at the Instituto Di Tella under the supervision of Torcuato di Tella before going to the University of California, San Diego, where she completed her MA and PhD in Latin American History. Her dissertation was directed by Eric Van Young and Michael Monteon. She has completed a book manuscript based on this work, which treats the politics of modernization and its relationship to gender and race: Unclaimed Fright: Race, Masculinity and National Identity in Argentina, 1850-1910. She is presently revising it for publication. Together with Alex Levine, a philosopher of science, she is working on a critical compilation of Darwinian texts from Argentina. They intend to compare scientific narratives in order to understand the cultural meaning of Darwinism outside Europe. She is also beginning research on a new project about the cultural history of the idea of disappearance in Argentina. Dr. Novoa teaches classes that deal with cultural conflict and identity formation in post-independence Latin America.
