Very interesting book presentation today (and I'm not just saying that because I'm one of the presenters).

Apparently there was a secret proposal (publicly disavowed) under Calles to replace the military with a CROM-organized army? In Medin, citing Carr. Are there any more recent works that discuss this? A bit relevant to the use of union/business-backed "honorary inspectors" in cdmx.

Very pleased to announce that I'm now a published author in Spanish as well as English! Link in the post above to my new article on verbal criminal court procedure and popular legal culture in Mexico City, c.1878-1883. Be sure to check out the rest of the dossier, as well!

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

Estoy feliz de anunciar que hoy se publicó mi primer artículo en español! Emplea expedientes judiciales para analizar la averiguación verbal en el DF y la cultura legal popular durante la codificación penal.

El artículo forma parte de un dossier con otros textos interesantes sobre temas de justicia, policía, y trabajadores, siglos XIX y XX. Muchas gracias a los organizadores por invitarme a participar!

First day as a postdoc at UNAM-IIH!

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

Had a great time yesterday presenting on how to think like a historian to high schoolers in Atoyac, Veracruz. The students were very engaged and had great questions. At a time when universities are shrinking programs, it's a good reminder that there's a lot of interest out there.

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

How do people who are between positions handle the "academic affiliation" section of a publication? If you're still a month or two out from your official start date somewhere, can you still give that as your position? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

Very pleased to announce that I'll be taking a position as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the IIH at UNAM! I'm looking forward to continuing my research on the role of private power in the making of public authority in early 20th Century Mexico City.

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

Thank you to everyone who helped along the way in writing this—far more people than I could fit into the acknowledgements provided comments, answered questions, or otherwise offered support in ways big and small. I could not have written this without them.

[Keegan Boyar @kfpboyar]

Very pleased to announce the publication of my article on the policing of vendors in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Mexico City in the Journal of Urban History!
