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.

Since beginning at Rollins in fall 2019, I have taught a number of classes, including (in alphabetical order):

  • Afro-Latin America (300 level)

  • The Andes in the twentieth century (200 level)

  • Colonial Latin America (300 level)

  • Contact and Conquest: Mexico, sixteenth century (100 level)

  • Haitian Revolution (100 level)

  • History of Lima (100 level)

  • Historical Marxism (300 level)

  • Latin America’s Cold War (200 level)

  • Modern Latin America (100 level)

  • Modern Peru (300 level and graduate)

  • Origins of Modernity (graduate)

  • Pacific Ocean Worlds (100 level, general education)

  • Revolution in Chile, 1970s (100 level)

  • Revolutionary Latin America (300 level)

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.
