Geographic focus: Mexico; 20th-century Latin America.

Thematic interests: Contemporary Mexican history; student movements; youth culture; the Cold War.

Current research: My current work examines the role competing powerbrokers played to quell growing student unrest and mediate youth conflict in postrevolutionary Mexico vis-à-vis the employment of agent provocateurs and student intermediaries. In addition, my work delves into the impact of the Cuban Revolution on Mexican leftist and ultraconservative student politics.

Selected publications: "The (Forgotten) Sixties in Mexico." In The Sixties: A Journal of History, Politics and Culture 1, 1 (May, 2008): 83-90; "Student Politics in Mexico at the Wake of the Cuban Revolution," in Robert Clarke et. al., eds., New World Coming: The Sixties and the Shaping of Global Consciousness (Toronto/New York: Between the Lines & Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming).
