I am a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Global Studies Curriculum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. My interests include political economy, historical sociology, economic geography, infrastructure sabotage, and social movements. I take an interdisciplinary approach, integrating social and political theory with the material history of capitalism, with a focus on Latin America.
My work has been published in Human Geography, Global Perspectives & Economy and Society, and in public-facing outlets like Modernismo Latinoamericano, Phenomenal World, Jacobin, Revista de la Universidad de México, Nueva Sociedad, and Public Seminar. I have also published book chapters in International Law and Architecture, and Trayectorias y proyectos intelectuales en América Latina y Colombia.
My work has been supported by the Mellon Initiative for Inclusive Faculty Excellence, the Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar “Currency, Empire, Monetary Policy, Race and Power,” the Janey Program in Latin American Studies, the Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies, the Graduate Institute for Design, Ethnography & Social Thought (GIDEST), and the History & Political Economy Project.
