I and a Ph.D. candidate at Duke University. I research the history of colonial Mexico. Specifically, my scholarship examines how subaltern vassals have resisted state-led attempts to impose orthodoxy. My most recent project analyzes popular magic and shapeshifting in the Enlightenment era, revealing that categories such as “superstition” and “idolatry” persisted among indigenous peoples and those of African descent into the nineteenth century. A complete list of my publications may be found here.
