Among his many academic accolades, Ruiz is a member of the Société nationale des Antiquaires de France, the Society of Fellows of the Medieval Academy of America, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In addition to his many works on Spanish history, Ruiz has also made important interventions in (re)-theorizing Braudel’s Mediterranean world, especially in its orientation to new Atlantic histories. Examining everyday people and everyday life, Ruiz, perhaps more than any other scholar, bridges the divide between “medieval” and “early modern” Spanish histories, concentrating on the longue durée and destabilizing the popular obsession with 1492 as a watershed moment. Though he has made groundbreaking contributions to traditional questions of kingship and Christian/Muslim relations in Castile, his research has never lost focus on common folk and the marginalized-women, criminals, slaves, Roma, and Jews.
Ruiz’s research interests stretch across a range of innovative topics, including terror, festivals, food, clothing, and poverty. Ruiz is the author of 15 books on medieval and early modern Spain, including Crisis and Continuity: Land and Town in Late Medieval Castile (1994), winner of the AHA’s Premio del Rey. Ruiz spent his entire 46-year career teaching in public universities: Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, CUNY (1974–98) and UCLA (1998–2020). He eventually went on for an MA at New York University and a PhD at Princeton University, completing his PhD in 1974. He went to night school at the tuition-free City College of New York, where he nurtured an interest in medieval history. He left for Miami in 1961 and eventually moved to New York, where he supported himself driving taxis.
After witnessing certain policies from the revolutionary government, Ruiz protested and was jailed. He grew up in Cuba, where, as a teenager, he supported the Cuban Revolution. Ruiz’s career trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. Teofilo Ruiz is Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he held positions in both the Department of History and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
