My research focuses on social movements, race and indigeneity, labor, and migration between the United States and Mexico. In my current book project, I examine how Indigenous migrants from Oaxaca made an important transnational impact during the late twentieth century that shapes how we think about migrant politics, indigeneity, and racial capitalism today.

​

Writing about Indigenous migrants has been both challenging and rewarding. Such a project has led me throughout the United States and Mexico to meet incredible people, colleagues, and community members. I have also visited archives, accessed personal collections, conducted oral histories, and more. These experiences have greatly impacted me and have shaped the book. As a result, I have two simultaneous projects underway: The Indigenous Mexican Oral History Project (IMOHP) and the Archiving Indigenous Migrant Histories (AIMH). You can learn more about them below:
