Will Fowler is Professor of Latin American Studies. He is the author of Mexico in the Age of Proposals, 1821-1853 (Westport, CT: 1998), Tornel and Santa Anna, The Writer and the Caudillo (Westport, CT: 2000), Latin America since 1780 (London, 2002; 2nd edition, 2008), and Santa Anna of Mexico (Lincoln, NE: 2007) (translated into Spanish as Santa Anna by the Universidad Veracruzana [2010; reprint 2011]). He has published numerous articles and edited twelve volumes on Mexican and Latin American political history. He recently coordinated a three-year AHRC-funded project on the dynamics and culture of the Mexican pronunciamiento (1821-76) (2007-2010), and is currently writing a monograph on The Pronunciamiento in Independent Mexico, 1821-1858. He teaches on the core undergraduate modules in the Department of Spanish, and coordinates three specialised options: SP1030 Introduction to Modern Latin America, SP3138 Mexico in the Nineteenth Century, and SP4008 Contemporary Spanish Language. At a postgraduate level he is, at present, supervising three PhD students, and contributes to the School's Master Mundus programme.
