Assistant Professor
North America
I am a historian of the United States, specializing in Native American modernity. My current research develops a Tewa Pueblo history of the Manhattan Project and the atomic age. I am especially interested in the ways in which Indigenous philosophy, epistemology, and cosmology open new questions about science and history. I am a member of Santa Clara Pueblo, and much of my work is rooted in family and community relations.
Before coming to Berkeley, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Society of Fellows and assistant professor of American Studies at the University of Michigan.
