John Sherman earned his Ph.D. under the tutelage of Michael C. Meyer, the well known historian of Mexico at the University of Arizona. A native Ohioan, John's interest in Mexico was first sparked in his youth, when he spent time with his grandparents on the Arizona-Mexican border. After a hiatus of nearly a decade, in 2013-14 he is relaunching his flagship Mexico (since Independence) course. Aztecs and other cultures are explored in Colonial Latin America; Evita Perón garners appropriate attention in Argentina; Dr. Sherman addresses some of his latest research endeavors in Comparative Third World Genocide.
