Specialty areas:
Latin American, Mexican, Latinx histories and history of gender and sexuality. Latin Americanists study the history of nineteen different countries in the Americas, plus the Philippines, Spain, and the U.S.A. I focus on nineteenth-century Mexico, especially the Porfiriato (1876-1911) and the U.S. Southwest. Research interests include diplomacy, transnational migration, Mexican diaspora, consumption and material culture, masculinity, Latin@s in the Midwest, the homophile movement, and LGBTQ history of the Midwest. Service interests include development of outreach programs to increase Latino entry into higher education, graduate, and professional programs, as well as LGBTQ public history programs, and faculty promotion and retention programs.
