Geographic focus: Mexico; Latin America.

Thematic interests: Modern Mexican history; student movements; youth culture; Latin American Revolutions; the Cold War.

Current research: My book manuscript examines the role competing powerbrokers played to quell growing student unrest and mediate youth conflict in Cold War Mexico. My new project will explore the concept of youth in Mexico and in Latin America during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
