We are delighted to congratulate Lelia Stadler, Ph.D. candidate in History, on being selected for the University of Vienna’s 2027 Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Young Scholar Award.
Lelia Stadler, PhD Candidate, History
Lelia’s scholarship focuses on modern Jewish and Latin American history. Her dissertation is a social and legal history of Jewish immigration to South America, examining Jewish immigrants’ encounters with the Argentine state and how competing legal systems and regional norms shaped experiences of family, marriage, and divorce in a predominantly Catholic country.
Her publications include “In Search of Wandering Husbands: Jewish Migration, Desertion, and Divorce between Poland and Argentina, 1919–1939” (Brill, 2020), with “Ethical and Legal Bigamy: Transatlantic Jewish Families Caught between Conflicting Legalities, Argentina, 1930–1939” forthcoming in Jewish Social Studies.
We warmly congratulate Lelia on this well-deserved recognition.
