Research and Teaching

My current work is on urban cultures, populist politics, and state power in modern Latin America, especially Argentina. More broadly, I am interested in the making of modern citizenship across Latin America, and thus also in race, memory, labor and identity. Other teaching and research interests include film, architecture, and religion. I teach the introductory survey of modern Latin America as well as a range of upper-level and graduate seminars.
