In studying the comparative political incorporation of immigrants,
Bloemraad has developed a special interest in Portuguese migrants
in North America. The Portuguese immigrant communities of Massachusetts
and Ontario are a focal point for the recently published "The
North American Naturalization Gap: An Institutional Approach to
Citizenship Acquisition in the United States and Canada." [International
Migration Review (2002) 36(1): 194-229.] At Berkeley, she plans
to widen her comparison to include Portuguese-American communities
in the Bay area, with a special emphasis on the self-identity and
place of Portuguese-Americans in U.S. race and ethnic hierarchies.
Richard
Herr,
Department
of History
Richard Herr, PhD University of Chicago, professor emeritus of
history, has engaged in research and teaching of the modern history
of western Europe, with emphasis on the Iberian peninsula. For
thirty years before his retirement in 1991, he taught the undergraduate
course at Berkeley on the history of Spain and Portugal from ancient
times to the present. Among the graduate dissertations written
under his direction was one on the history of Portugal and three
on the history of Spain. He has given invited lectures at the ISCTE
in Lisbon. From 1987 to 1991 he was chair of the Iberian Studies
Group at Berkeley. He organized and contributed to two major conferences
involving Portugal and edited their proceedings, which were published
by the Institute of International Studies, Berkeley: "Iberian Identity:
Essays on the Nature of Identity in Portugal and Spain" (co-edited
with John Polt, 1989); and "The New Portugal: Democracy and Europe"
(1992). From 1994 to 1998 he was chair of the Portuguese Studies
Program at Berkeley. His own research and publications have focused
primarily on Spain. In July 2003 at a public ceremony in Madrid,
headed by Prince Philip, he was one of eight historians honored
by the Society of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies for
their Distinguished Contributions to North American Scholarship
on Modern Iberia. He is currently chair of the Spanish Studies
Program at Berkeley.
