Congratulations to Justin Salgado on receiving a Global Arts + Humanities Graduate Team Fellowship! The fellowships are financial awards made based on academic merit through a division-wide competition and are given to recognize the cross-disciplinary aspirations and accomplishments of graduate students in the division of arts and humanities. Justin's project title is "AIDS on the Margins."
 

Justin Salgado is a Ph.D. candidate who specializes in the history of public health along the U.S.-Mexico border, focusing on the border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. He is especially interested in cross-border mobility, (im)migration, and the social consequences of global health crises among people living on the border of Mexico and the United States. Salgado’s dissertation investigates how people transcended the limitations of the border to provide mutual aid during epidemics. His research explores the significance of solidarity and collaborative efforts in addressing public health emergencies, emphasizing the need to think beyond national barriers.
 

For the 2023-2024 academic year, Justin was a Fulbright-García Robles Researcher affiliated with the Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia (ENAH) in Mexico City.
 

Congratulations, Justin!
