Bio: My teaching and research interests include transnational history, borderlands, U.S.-Latin American relations, and popular culture. My current book project focuses on the interplay of popular culture and official diplomacy in the creation of U.S.-Cuban relations. Within this relationship, I am especially interested in issues of cultural construction and contestation. I have received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Mellon Foundation, the Society for American Foreign Relations, and the University of Portland. At UP, I teach courses on the histories of colonial and modern Latin America, Cuba, Mexico, environmental history, the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, and Latin American popular culture. |
