About
I am a PhD Candidate in Latin American history at The Graduate Center, City University of New York. My dissertation examines the social and cultural history of technology in post-revolutionary Mexico.
From 2007 to 2010 I was a lecturer in Latin American history at Lehman College. I also coordinate the Mexican Studies Group through the Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies (CUNY). From fall 2010 to spring 2011 I will be a visiting researcher at the Colegio de México.
My recent publications include:
- “El automóvil y el turismo Norteamericano en México, 1900-1940,” in Historia de México desde la óptica de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (forthcoming)
- “Driving Pan-Americanism: Imagining a Gulf of Mexico Highway,” Journal of Latino-Latin American Studies 3:4 (Fall 2009/Spring 2010): 56-68.
- “‘La carrera de la muerte’: Death, Driving, and Rituals of Modernization in 1950s Mexico,” Studies in Latin American Popular Culture Vol. 29 (2011).
- I am currently co-editing the book Technology and Culture in Twentieth Century Mexico with Araceli Tinajero.
