Specialty areas:
Latin American, Mexican, and Latinx histories, through the prisms of gender and sexuality. Latin Americanists study the pasts of nineteen different countries in the Americas, plus the Philippines, Spain, and the U.S.A. I trained on nineteenth-century Mexico, especially the Porfiriato (1876-1911) and the U.S. Southwest. My scholarly interests include diplomacy, transnational migration, Mexican diaspora, consumption and material culture, masculinity, transgender history, Latin@s in the Midwest, the homophile movement, and LGBTQ+ history of the Midwest. Service interests include increasing Latino access to higher education, graduate, and professional programs, as well as LGBTQ+ public history programs. I serve on various professional groups in my field. I chair the U.S.-Canada Organizing Committee of the International Historians of Mexico Conference, and serve on the organizing committee of REDMUGEN, the network for historians of women, gender, and sexuality in Mexico. I have served on the American Historical Association's Committee on LGBTQ Status in the Profession, and on the board of the American Historical Association's Committee on LGBTQ History, which has recently morphed into the LGBTQ+ History Association.
