Research Interests and Professional Activities
Professor Hernández has taught at DePaul University, The University of Chicago, and The University of Massachusetts. His research focuses on repatriated Mexicans during the 19th and early 20th centuries. His current project is entitled "Lost Mexico: Militarization, Migration, & Mexican American Colonization in the Nineteenth Century." The book historicizes Mexican efforts to secure its northern border with repatriates from the United States in the aftermath of a war that entailed the loss of half the nation’s territory. He has received fellowships from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Trustee Fellowship, Fulbright-Hayes Dissertation Fellowship, The Center for Mexican American Studies Fellowship from The University of Houston, and a Lilly Teaching Fellowship here at UMASS.
