About Me

I’m an Associate Professor of History at Georgia College. I teach courses on modern world history, Latin America, US-Mexico borderlands, oral history, global foodways, and women’s and gender studies. My current research focuses on mid-twentieth US-Mexico diplomatic and cultural relations.
