Research Interests:
All of my research can be classified as social
and cultural history. I have also been greatly influenced by my studies
of art history. My dissertation and current research is on anti-alcohol
campaigns and state-building in revolutionary Mexico. I look at both
projects at the national, state, and popular levels and find that they
were participatory and contested processes. Earlier research has
focused on Mexican postage stamps as a type of official history, and has
analyzed Mexican photography using the lenses of gender, class, and ethnicity.
Future projects will examine ex-votos (popular religious images)
and the creation of a national and nationalist modern dance movement in
Mexico from the 1920s through the 1950s.
