SUMMARY:Robust Babies: Histories of Breastfeeding and Industrial Labor in the mid-20th Century Brazil
DESCRIPTION:
 Victoria Langland holds a joint position in History 
 and Romance Languages and Literatures and 
 is currently serving as the director of the 
 Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies 
 at the University of Michigan.  She specializes 
 in twentieth-century Latin American history, 
 especially the Southern Cone, and writes 
 about dictatorships, gender, the uses of 
 memory, student and other social movements, and, 
 more generally, the intersections of culture 
 and power. She is the author of "Speaking 
 of Flowers: Student Movements and the Making 
 and Remembering of 1968 in Military Brazil" 
 (Duke University Press, 2013) and the co-editor 
 of Monumentos, Memoriales y Marcas Territoriales 
 (Siglo XXI, 2003).  \n
 \n
 Langland's current 
 research project is a history of breastfeeding 
 in Brazil that looks at how cultural understandings, 
 public policies, formula marketing 
 and other factors have transformed popular 
 beliefs and practices about infant nutrition 
 and women's bodies over time.  Before coming 
 to the University of Michigan, she was on 
 the faculty at the University of California, 
 Davis and at Lafayette College.\n
