Faculty Colloquium presented by Paul Ramírez, Assistant Professor, Department of History, Northwestern University
In the early modern world, Mexican salt was a key input in the silver refining process. Paul Ramírez discusses his efforts to write a new history of salt that incorporates the tastes, rituals, and devotions of the communities that produced it, thereby placing devotional labor at the center of the story about this global commodity.
