Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist Andrew Sluyter is an American social scientist who currently teaches as a professor in the Geography and Anthropology Department of the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. His interests are the environmental history and historical, cultural, and political ecology of the colonization of the Americas.[1] He has made various contributions to the theorization of colonialism and landscape, the critique of neo-environmental determinism, to understanding pre-colonial and colonial agriculture and environmental change in Mexico, to revealing African contributions to establishing cattle ranching in the Americas, and to the historical geographies of Hispanics and Latinos in New Orleans. With the publication of Black Ranching Frontiers: African Cattle Herders of the Atlantic World, 1500–1900 (Yale University Press, 2012) and a 2012–13 Digital Innovation Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies, he has joined a growing number of scholars from multiple disciplines working from the perspective of Atlantic History and using the tools of the Digital Humanities.[2] His latest book, Hispanic and Latino New Orleans: Immigration and Identity since the Eighteenth Century (LSU Press, 2015), co-authored with Case Watkins, James Chaney, and Annie M. Gibson, was awarded the 2015 John Brinckerhoff Jackson Book Prize by the American Association of Geographers.[3]
Background
Sluyter received his PhD degree in 1995 from the Department of Geography and the Environment at University of Texas at Austin.[4] In 2004, he earned the James M. Blaut Award in Recognition of Innovative Scholarship from the Cultural and Political Ecology Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers.[5] From 2005 to 2008, Sluyter was a member of the board of directors of the Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers, and in 2017, received its Carl O. Sauer Distinguished Scholarship Award.[6] From 2007 through 2012, he was associate editor of the Geographical Review.[7] Since 2006 he has served on the United States Geography Commission of the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History of the Organization of American States.[8] Sluyter currently serves as the co-editor-in-chief of Journal of Historical Geography and as executive director of the Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers.[9]
