NARRATIVE SUMMARY OF CAREER

Edward A. "Ted" Riedinger is a tenured full professor and the head of the Latin America, Hispanic, Spanish, and Portuguese Library Collection (LAT) at Ohio State University (OSU), Columbus.  He is an adjunct professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the Department of History (graduate faculty) at OSU and has been an adjunct professor in the Center for Latin American Studies at Ohio University (OU), Athens.  During the academic year 2006-2007 he was a Visiting Research Associate at the Centre for Brazilian Studies and a Senior Associate Member of St. Antony’s College at the University of Oxford. 
 
A specialist on Brazil, Prof. Riedinger lived in that country, primarily Rio de Janeiro, from 1971 to 1988.  He was a faculty member at universities there (Pontifícia Universidade Católica -- PUC, Pontifical Catholic University; Gama Filho University), and in Mexico (Universidad de las Américas -- UDLA, University of the Americas, Puebla) and the United States (San Francisco State University -- SFSU).  He is conversant in Portuguese, Spanish, and French.  
 
From 1979 to 1988 he was the Educational Advising Officer of the Fulbright Commission of Brazil at the American Consulate-General in Rio de Janeiro.  There he developed a national network, in thirteen cities, of educational advising information centers and libraries serving those who wished to study or do research in the US.  His innovations for these operations included distribution of basic reference collections that included audio-visual and computer resources, and establishment of national conferences and standardized training workshops.  In support of this work, he traveled the whole of Brazil on numerous occasions.  In 1984 he organized a regional association of advisers, the Working Group of US Overseas Educational Advisers in South America.  He then aided in the formation (1985) of a worldwide organization of advisers, the Overseas Educational Advisers Group (OSEAS) within the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA), becoming its first representative for Latin America. 
 
He was a member of the executive organizing committee for the Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA, secretariat at Vanderbilt University).  He served as its first secretary (1994-1996); the editor of its Proceedings; and member of its executive board.  In addition, he served on the program committee of its annual conferences, held in Atlanta, Georgia (1994); at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis (1995); King's College, Cambridge University, England (1996); in Washington, DC (1997); and Recife, Brazil (2000). 
 
Prof. Riedinger has authored approximately 300 articles, chapters, reviews, and books in English and Portuguese, including contributions to several award-winning publications.  On the eve of the first direct civilian presidential election (1988) in Brazil since the military coup of 1964, he published Como se faz um presidente:  A campanha do JK  (The Making of a President, Brazil, 1955: The Campaign of Juscelino Kubitschek).  The first scholarly study of a Brazilian presidential election, it described the campaign during 1954-1956 of Juscelino Kubitschek, the builder of Brasília.  He served as President Kubitschek’s private secretary for English correspondence from 1972 to 1976.   Prof. Riedinger has written for the popular Brazilian media including the newsweekly, Veja, and the national dailies, the Jornal do Brasil and O Estado de São Paulo.
 
He has contributed scholarly material on Brazil and Latin America to numerous national and international reference works.  He was a contributor to Envisioning Brazil:  A Guide to Brazilian Studies in the United States, 1945-2000, which was co-winner of the 2006 Roberto Reis Book Award of BRASA.  Currently he is preparing Renaissance in the Tropics:  Brazilian Culture from the Week of Modern Art to the Inauguration of Brasilia, 1922-1960 and an examination of Brazilian history as an  "Afro-Mediterranean world in the southern Atlantic."  The thesis reviews Brazilian history in accord with the principles of Annales historiography and the ecumene theory of civilizations of William H. McNeill.  Prof. Riedinger compiled (2002) a bibliography of McNeill's Rise of the West.  Other books by Prof. Riedinger include Where in the World to Learn, the first guide for applying information management to advising; and Turned-on Advising, one of the earliest compendiums of computer and video resources for advising.  He has lectured, given workshops, and done consulting on educational advising throughout Latin America and Europe.

He has designed and manages a number of
web sites related to Brazilian history and research.  He is a member of the editorial advisory board of the journal, História, ciências, saúde--Manguinhos, of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Rio de Janeiro), and is a regular reviewer for Choice and the Multicultural Review.  In addition, he has reviewed for the European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (Amsterdam), the Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies (of Australiasia), the Journal of Latin American Studies (Cambridge University Press), and the Times Literary Supplement (London).   He also reviews monograph manuscripts on Brazil for university publishers.
 
Prof. Riedinger is a consultant for projects requiring expertise on Brazil.  He advised the Ohio trade mission to South America led by Gov. (now Sen.) George Voinovich in 1998 and has been a consultant on Brazilian subjects for Misher Films (Sony-Universal Studios).  Furthermore, he was one of a group of scholars who advised the Brazilian Embassy regarding the state of Brazilian studies in the US.  He also has been an evaluator of grant applications for the Fulbright Senior Scholar Program of the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the international education programs of the US Department of Education. 
 
He received MA and PhD degrees in history from the University of Chicago (1969, 1978), and has a masters in library and information science from the University of California, Berkeley (1989).  He pursued postgraduate work in history at Harvard (1969), Oxford (Exeter College, 1970), and Cambridge (Selwyn College, 1986) universities.  His secondary and undergraduate education occurred primarily at Catholic seminaries in Indiana.   
He has been a recipient of numerous awards from Brazilian and US government and private agencies, including the American Embassy in Brazil, the Escola Superior de Guerra (ESG -- Brazilian War College), and the US Information Agency (USIA).  Over the course of his career, Dr. Riedinger has received grants, equivalent in current value, to over $250,000.  He has been a Ford Foundation Fellow, Mendel Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar, and a grantee of the NEH, the Tinker Foundation, and the US embassies in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela.  He was a Fulbright Senior Specialist for 2001-2006.  In 2005 he received the Tiefel Achievement Award in Teaching of OSU Libraries (OSUL).
