Blair Woodard is a professor of history with research interests in Latin American history and U.S.-Latin American relations. His presentations will discuss Cuba’s many religious influences. From Catholicism, Santeria, and official State Atheism, religion has played a defining role in the formation of Cuba’s cultural heritage and will continue to do so as the nation faces many changes in the future. Woodard’s research in both Cuban and U.S. archives has been supported by grants from Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations and the University of New Mexico.
