About
Manuel A. Bautista González (Mexico City, 1984) is a first-year student in the History doctoral program at Columbia University, funded by CONACYT, Mexico, and Columbia's Richard Hofstadter Fellowship. Manuel specializes in US history with emphasis on economic history. For his graduate work at Columbia, Manuel intends to study the consequences of the use of Mexican silver pesos as legal tender in the United States during the first half of the 19th century. Manuel is also interested in global history, Latin American history, the history of economic thought, and the history of economics as discipline and profession.
Manuel obtained a B. A. in economics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he specialized in economic theory and economic history. After graduation, Manuel worked as an economist, creative planner and host of “Expedición 1808”, a TV series that revisited the bicentennial of the independence wars in Spanish America. This public history project produced by the Mexico City Government was broadcasted by National Geographic (Latin America), TV UNAM (Mexico) and TVE (Spain), among other channels.
After a brief experience in commercial banking, Manuel became research assistant to Carlos Marichal (El Colegio de México) for a project on the history of global financial crises. In addition, Manuel was an executive and research assistant to Luis Jáuregui (Mora Institute) in the Mexican Economic History Association. He was also a teaching assistant in Mexican economic history courses (undergraduate level) and lecturer of microeconomics (postgraduate level) at UNAM.
Manuel has presented research papers on the monetary history of Mexico during the wars of independence in the Tenth Meeting of Latin American Mining Historians (San Luis Potosi, November 2009), the Second Latin American Economic History Congress (Mexico City, February 2010) and the Asia Pacific Economic and Business History Conference (Berkeley, CA, February 2011). Manuel has also presented a paper on the history of monetary policy in Mexico during the first half of the 20th century (coauthored with Carlos Marichal) in Banco de México (Mexico City, August 2011).
