Teaching

Trained as a Latin Americanist with a field in global oceans, my teaching covers a wide geography and several centuries. Courses tend to emphasize social movements, class, race, gender, and the search for a more equal world.

Now in my sixth year of teaching, I have taught a number of classes at various levels of the university.

Introductory courses:

• Haitian Revolution

• Contact and Conquest: Mexico, sixteenth century

• History of Lima

• Histories of the Pacific

• Revolution in Chile, 1970s

• South America since 1810

Seminar/Research courses:

• Afro-Latin America

• Latin America’s Cold War

• Colonial Latin America

• Modern Latin America

• Historical Marxism

• Modern Peru

• Revolutionary Latin America

Graduate courses

• Latin American Literature and Methods

• Modern Peru

• Origins of Modernity

The 2023 graduating class at Rollins recently nominated and selected me for the Hugh F. McKean Award for teaching excellence.

In 2023, I collaborated with Claire Strom on a field study to Chile. We took twelve students to Santiago, Valparaíso, and San Pedro de Atacama over the course of just under two weeks to think about history, culture, and politics.
