Tanalís Padilla obtained her Ph.D. in Latin American history from the University of California, San Diego, in 2001. Her current research explores peasant activism in the Mexican countryside from the 1940s through the 1960s, an era previously considered one of social and political stability. While her attention has focused thus far on the circumstances that led agrarian movements to turn to armed struggle, her next project is a history of Mexican railway workers who led one of the most powerful industrial labor mobilizations in twentieth-century Mexico. Issues of resistance and mobilization are central to her courses in which she explores Latin America and Latinos/as in the United States with a focus on how popular groups affect the course of history.
