TEACHING
I seek to facilitate bridges between student interests and the ever-relevant stories of race and sexuality that manifest within colonial to antebellum North America’s southwest. In my courses, I ask folks to consider what defines racial and national identities, like “Mexican,” “Navajo,” or “Black,” at the moment when the U.S. settler state acquired its west through military control. In doing so, they observe how identities were contingent upon the location and time in which they were expressed.
