Fulbright alumnus Rafael Fernández de Castro has been invited to serve as a Robert F. Kennedy Visiting Professor in Latin American Studies at Harvard University. The Professorship, administered by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, enables Harvard faculty to nominate distinguished Latin American academics from any field to teach at the University for a semester or a full year. While at Harvard, Fernández will teach a Department of Government course for undergraduate and graduate students titled “U.S.-Mexican Relations.” He has published many books and articles on Mexican foreign policy and the bilateral relationship between Mexico and the United States, including a book entitled United States and Mexico: Between Partnership and Conflict, co-authored with Harvard’s Vice Provost for International Affairs Jorge Domínguez. Fernández is the editor of Foreign Affairs en Español, the sister magazine of Foreign Affairs, and he was recently asked by Mexican President Felipe Calderón to coordinate Mexico 2030, an initiative that will create a blueprint for Mexican democracy and foreign policy in the year 2030. After earning a master’s degree in public policy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1988 through the Fulbright Program, Fernández obtained a Ph.D. in political science from Georgetown University.
