Quidnunc
And the Award Goes
to… Christopher H.
Pyle, professor of politics, has been chosen to receive the Luther
Knight Macnair Award from the American Civil Liberties Union
of Massachusetts. Pyle will receive the award at the organization’s
annual meeting Monday, May 24, in Boston, at which he will speak
on the topic “McCarthyism, Then and Now.” The Macnair
Award is given for “significant contributions to civil
liberties,” and is named for Luther Macnair, who led the
organization from 1950 to 1970. The annual meeting begins at
5:15 pm in the David A. Sargent Hall of Suffolk University Law
School.
New Membership Lowell Gudmundson, professor of Latin American
studies and history, will be inducted into the Academia de Geografía
e Historia de Guatemala as a corresponding member on June 9.
That evening he will give a presentation titled “Afro-Mestizo
Towns and Dominican Heritage in Guatemala: Amatitlán and
San Gerónimo Through Nineteenth-Century Maps.” A
document on slavery in Guatemala that Gudmundson published in
the Franciscan history journal, The Americas, in July 2003, as
well as a more extensive essay on the topic that just appeared
in the May issue of Hispanic American Historical
Review, spurred
the academia’s interest.
