Biography
[edit | edit source]Gil studied at the National University of Córdoba, where she obtained her licentiate and PhD in history, and the National University of Cuyo, where she obtained a specialist certificate in university teaching.[1] She also worked as a senior researcher for the National Scientific and Technical Research Council, specializing in history[2][3] and joining the National University of Tucumán Instituto Superior de Estudios Sociales as a full-time researcher in 2002.[4]
Gil specializes in topics such as labour history, population history, and the Spanish colonial era in the Andes.[2][3] In 2004, she published Caravaneros y trashumantes en los Andes Meridionales, a history book on indigenous people in the 18th and 19th-century Jujuy puna; Jean Piel called it "doubly a good deed: for the Andean world and for Peru".[5] In the late 2000s, she did a research project on pastoralism with the collaboration of European and Asian researchers, published in the journal Nomadic Peoples.[4] She later published another book, Ciudades efímeras (2014), focusing on the pre-19th-century history of the Lípez area in Bolivia and its mining industry.[6] Other books she authored include Los pueblos de indios del Tucumán colonial (2002, with Judith Farberman), La construcción de Argentina y Bolivia en los Andes Meridionales (2008), and Visitas coloniales en diálogo (2023, with María Laura Salinas).[1] She has also served as editor for the journal Población & Sociedad.[2]
In 2011, Gil was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in History, to be done on a history book focusing on Andean miners and herders.[4] After serving as vice-president from 2017 to 2019, she was president of the Asociación Argentina de Investigadores en Historia from 2019 to 2021.[2][7] In 2024, she was appointed corresponding academician of the National Academy of History of Argentina for Tucuman.[8] She was a Käte Hamburger Center Fellow at the University of Münster in 2024 and 2025.[3]
