PROFESSOR CARLOS M.N. EIRE
Professor Eire, who received his PhD from Yale in 1979, specializes in the social, intellectual, religious and cultural history of late medieval and early modern Europe, with a strong focus on both the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, the history of popular piety and the history of death. He has also ventured into the twentieth century and the Cuban Revolution in his book Waiting for Snow in Havana which won the National Book Award in Nonfiction in 2003. He was born in Havana and left his homeland in 1962, one of fourteen thousand unaccompanied children airlifted out of Cuba. After living in a series of foster homes in Florida and Illinois, he was reunited with his mother in Chicago in 1965. Before joining Yale University, he taught at St. John’s University in Minnesota and the University of Virginia.
