Rachel Nolan<\/a>, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, has been named a 2021 American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Fellow. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ACLS Fellowship Program awards fellowships to individual scholars working in the humanities and related social sciences. Nolan is among the 60 fellows named for 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During her fellowship, Nolan will conduct research on “The Cold War and For-Profit International Adoptions from Guatemala to the US.” This project spans the period from 1968 to 2007, when Guatemala closed international adoptions amid unfounded rumors of organ-trafficking and founded allegations of child theft and coercion of birth mothers.\u00a0<\/span>The year before closure, one in 110 children born there was adopted by a family abroad. This book manuscript draws on adoption files, police reports, court records, the results of FOIA requests, and oral histories to explore how Guatemala became a leading \u201csender\u201d country for children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
