Dr. Teresa Huhle is a Research Associate at the Department of Iberian and Latin American History within the Historical Institute at the University of Cologne, a position she has held since 2021. She earned her doctorate from the University of Bremen in 2015 with a dissertation on population, fertility, and family planning in Colombia during the Cold War. Her academic journey includes previous research positions at the University of Bremen, where she worked on the Collaborative Research Center 1342 'Global Development Dynamics of Social Policy' (2018-2021).
Dr. Huhle's research focuses on Latin American history with special emphasis on Uruguayan and Colombian historical development. Her primary research areas include transnational history, population policies, social reformism, and welfare state development. Current projects examine 'The Creation of Exceptionalism: How Uruguayan Reformers Imagined and Promoted a "Model Country" in International Arenas and Transnational Networks (1876-1942)' and the global history of labor policies in Uruguay (1903-1942).
Her scholarly work demonstrates a consistent focus on how Latin American nations engaged with international discourses to shape domestic policies. Recent publications explore Uruguayan social reforms, Colombian population policies during the Cold War, and transnational health initiatives, revealing patterns of how Latin American countries positioned themselves within global knowledge networks and international organizations.
Dr. Huhle is an active member of several academic associations including the Association of German Historians (VHD), the Asociación de Historiadores Latinoamericanistas Europeos (AHILA), the German Association for Latin American Studies (ADLAF), and the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), where she serves on the board of the 'Health, Science, Technology' section.
She has presented her research at numerous conferences and is scheduled to deliver lectures in 2025 on Uruguayan social reformism and open-air schools as model projects of a 'Model Nation.' Her academic trajectory demonstrates a sustained commitment to understanding the transnational dimensions of Latin American social and political development through historical analysis.
