Liliana Toledo Guzman (History) Receives Fall 2023 SBSRI Dissertation Research Grant

Kudos to Liliana Toledo Guzman (Department of History) who received a SBSRI Dissertation Research Grant.

Liliana researches how the Mexican Revolution entailed institutional, familial, and gender role reassessments by investigating the biographies of two middle-class musicians, Esperanza Cruz and Celia Treviño Carranza. Her study elucidates how a paid activity, like music, made it possible for women to negotiate a certain degree of autonomy in a patriarchal context.
