Biography
I am Assistant Professor of Latin American History at the University of Texas-Tyler,
with a Ph.D. in Latin American History from the University of New Mexico. My work
specializes in social movements, higher education, military regimes, state-society
relations, and human rights & memory in Latin America, with a specific focus on Brazil. I
have published articles on higher education, student movements, and transitional politics
in Brazil. I am currently at work on a manuscript that uses the Brazilian university
system to examine the ways in which the middle class played an increasingly central
role in defining the political and social struggles of Brazil in the twentieth century.
I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on Colonial Latin American History, Modern
Latin American History, Social Movements in World History, Inter-American Relations,
and Native American History. Additionally, I serve as the book review editor for the
quarterly scholarly journal The Latin Americanist.
