About
I am an interdisciplinary historian studying the intertwined histories of race and immigration as related to twentieth-century Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Indigenous peoples in the U.S. and México. Mostly, I am interested in how racial classifications are constructed, upheld, and contested within different sites of sociopolitical and cultural power and knowledge production. My work as an educator is deeply driven by and indebted to Black, Indigenous, and woman of colour feminist methods and pedagogy. I see my work as one iteration of my political commitment to hemispheric solidarity and liberation.
I am Mexican and Cypriot, and grew up in what is currently known as Victoria, Canada on Lekwungen and W̱SÁNÉC territories. I received a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History and Environmental Studies from the University of Victoria in 2014, and a Master of Arts in the Department of History and Classical Studies at McGill University in 2015. I received my Ph.D. from Yale University in 2023 from the Department of History, and received a Master of Arts and Master of Philosophy from Yale University in Winter 2019. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Society of Fellows at Dartmouth College with affiliations in the Department of History and Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies.
