Rivas-Sada, Eva Luisa

I am a specialist in History, one of the disciplinary pillars of the Humanities. I hold a Bachelor's degree in History from UANL, a Diploma in Advanced Studies in American History from the Ortega y Gasset Research Institute, and a Ph.D. in Contemporary Latin America from the Complutense University of Madrid. My research is centered around Mexican contemporary history (20th century) and is approached from an interdisciplinary perspective: economic history, science and technology history, and environmental history. I have worked on topics related to water, energy, rural areas, food production, and agro-industrial chains in Mexico. Collaborating with colleagues from various Mexican and foreign institutions, I have been involved in seven research projects, four of which were sponsored by CONACYT (National Council for Science and Technology). I have more than 20 publications, including books, chapters, and peer-reviewed articles, published in Mexico and abroad. I have received three national research awards: the award for the best article in Economic History by the Mexican Committee of Historical Sciences in the 2022 edition, the Museo Historia Mexicana Award for the best doctoral thesis in the 2013 edition, and an honorable mention in the Israel Cavazos Historical Research Award in the 2011 edition for a historical monograph. I have also been recognized with the Summa Cum Laude Excellence award for my doctoral thesis and Academic Excellence award during my Bachelor's degree. I am a member of the editorial committee of the "COnfines" Journal and a part of the editorial council of the "Sillares" Journal. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer for several internationally prestigious historical research journals. I had the great privilege of coordinating the historical heritage area of Nuevo León and continue to support the recovery and preservation of Mexican documentary heritage. I am a member of the Northern Mexico Economic History Association, of which I have been the president, as well as a member of the Mexican Association of Economic History.
