As secretary and chair-elect of the Southern Cone Studies section of the Conference on Latin American History, Andra Chastain organized a roundtable on “community-engaged research and Southern Cone Studies” with scholars of Chile and Argentina experienced in public humanities, digital humanities, and oral history projects. The roundtable was held at the American Historical Association meeting in Chicago.
Also at the AHA, Chastain presented a paper, “The Santiago Metro and Smog: (Dis)connections between Urban Infrastructure and the Environment in Chile, 1960s-1980s,” as part of a panel on infrastructure and politics in twentieth-century Latin America.
