About Jonathan Ablard
Jonathan Ablard is a professor of history at Ithica College in New York, specializing in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition to teaching general surveys, he also offer courses on public health, revolution and counterrevolution, literature and dictatorship, conspiracy theories, and commodities. ​

One of the core concepts within each of his classes is that we cannot understand the United States without understanding Latin America and the Caribbean. And the histories of Latin America and the Caribbean should be viewed within wider global narratives. Students often remark that Latin America and the Caribbean barely exists in high school history classes, he says. The region is rarely mentioned in U.S. courses and gets short shrift in world history courses. His courses can offer a corrective to these deficits.
