Clara Eugenia Lida (Buenos Aires, December 27, 1941) is an Argentinian historian, well known for her work on social movements, anarchism and socialisms in the 19th century, and on Spanish emigration and Republican exile.

First years

Daughter of philologist Raimundo Lida (1908–1979), she studied with Silvio Zavala, in Mexico, and Vicente Llorens, at Princeton University. Her formal education as a historian started at Brandeis University (Waltham, Massachusetts), where she obtained her BA in 1963. She continued her higher education at El Colegio de México (MA, 1964) and Princeton University (1965–1969), where she obtained her PhD in history and literature. She taught at Wesleyan University, Connecticut (1968–1974), and at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1974–1987).

Activities

In 1969 she was the co-founder of the “Society [now Association] for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies”, which she presided from 1969 to 1972.

She was visiting professor of history at El Colegio de México in 1979. Since 1982 she is research-professor at the Centro de Estudios Históricos, El Colegio de México, where she holds the chair on Mexico-Spain and co-directs two permanent seminars, one on Mexico-Spain and the other on Social History. She has been visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Menéndez Pelayo International University (Spain), the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where she held the Chair “Teachers in Exile”, and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris), among other higher education institutions. She has also taught and lectured in Latin America, Spain, Europe and Japan.

Research projects

Her major research interests are related to Spain, often in a comparative perspective with Mexico, Latin America and the rest of Europe. Her published works are considered major references for scholars interested in the history of 19th-century social movements and comparative studies on both sides of the Atlantic. Her pioneering work in the field of migrations and exiles from Spain to Mexico and South America consist of cultural, institutional, social and quantitative approaches. Her work on revolutionary movements in Europe and the Hispanic world, particularly on anarchism, are also renowned and a reference in the field. Other aspects of her professional work include studies on the Spanish novel and on cultural aspects of anarchist literature. A less known fact is that she has also published poetry.

She is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences and Emerita Researcher at the National Research System (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, Conacyt, Mexico).

Her distinctions include: Princeton University Honorary Fellow; Visiting Faculty Fellow Center, at the Center for the Humanities, Wesleylan University; visiting fellow, at the International Institute for Social History, Amsterdam; guest member, Columbia University Seminar on Labor History; guest member, Columbia University Seminar on Latin American History.

In 2006, she was awarded the “Encomienda al Mérito Civil” from the Spanish Government for her exceptional contributions in Spanish history and the study of Spanish immigrants in Mexico. In 2007, Mexico City's Institute of Science and Technology (ICyT) created the Clara E.
