I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Latin American and Latino Studies (LALS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz. From 2015 to 2017, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of New Mexico, with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. I received my Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
My research and teaching address the historical construction of borders and the movement of people across them. I also analyze the ways that historical documents are produced and curated, and how those processes structure historical memory and geographical imaginations. I tend to focus broadly on the Americas and the Atlantic World, but I have particular interest in southeastern South America (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Southern Brazil).
