Juan Coddou Wilson is a social and legal historian working on economic development, agrarian change, and authoritarianism. His current project analyzes the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to explain how its defining achievements—social rights to protect workers, reforms to redistribute land, and policies to promote industrialization—contributed to a revitalization of the authoritarian practices the revolution had promised to end. His research has been published in Latin American Legal Studies, Nexos, and Tocqueville 21, and is forthcoming in the Journal of Law and Political Economy. ​Prior to the fellowship, he obtained his PhD in History at the University of Chicago and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Program in Agrarian Studies at Yale.
