Interests: Mexico, environmental humanities, anthropology, archaeology
My research areas include Mesoamerican ethnohistory, historical archaeology, and environmental
archaeology with a specialty in zooarchaeology. Since 2006, I have been directing
a research project that examines the social and cultural origins of revolution in
Puebla, Mexico using the disciplines of ethnohistory, ethnography, and archaeology.
I recently published a book,
Biography of a Hacienda: Work and Revolution in Rural Mexico (University of Arizona Press, 2014) that draws on seven years of research in Puebla’s
Valley of Atlixco. Prior to joining the history department, I taught environmental
humanities and anthropology at Stony Brook's Southampton campus. I have also taught
for the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico and Connecticut College. Outside
of academia, I have worked for the National Park Service and the Boston Museum of
Science.
