- About Me
I am a professor of History at Brandon University. I teach Latin American courses, as well as histories and women’s histories in the global south, 20th century revolutions and imperialism and decolonization. I am currently completing a volume on Latin American women migrants in Brandon, Manitoba. I currently hold two SSHRC grants for Indigenous historical recoveries and the Hispanic Association of Manitoba, Inc (HAMI).
