Dr. Jennifer L. Schaefer (Ph.D., Emory, M.A. U. Chicago, BA, Brown) is a Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow in the Roots of Contemporary Issues Program at Washington State University – Vancouver. Her current research focuses on cultural articulations of political change in modern Argentina. Her in-progress book manuscript, Critical Commemorations: Memorializing Rebels, Martyrs, and Heroes in Argentina, 1966–1983, analyzes how commemorative practices during and after periods of military repression invoked values of rebellion, martyrdom, and heroism.
