Katie L. Coldiron is a librarian and doctoral student in history at Florida International University. She holds an M. S. in Information Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, an M. A. in Latin American Studies from the University of Florida, and a B. A. in Anthropology/Sociology from Centre College. Her dissertation focuses on the rise of Cuban Studies as a discipline in the U.S. after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, and specifically through the paradigms of diplomatic conflict, contact between scholars in Cuba and the United States, and how those in both countries attempted to control both academic contact and collaboration. Beyond this project, Katie is researching libraries in Latin America and the Caribbean and how these institutions, as well as global flows of information, were impacted by the Cold War. Her work has/will be featured in the International Journal of Information, Diversity, and Inclusion and Cuban Studies.
