My coursework and lectures center on social histories that examine the structural histories of gender, race, and economic systems to underscore the contours of Latin American and global politics. In my lectures and readings, I showcase the perspectives of the historically marginalized, which decenters traditional historiographies. I use a multidisciplinary and multimedia approach in my teaching, incorporating podcasts, videos, novels, films, YouTube clips, music, and poetry analysis. As historians, we strive to give students tools to understand their present society better and be critical, active citizens. As a Chilean-American of Italian descent, I can offer specific lived experiences as a Latina in the U.S. and a gringa in Chile, in addition to familial stories of living under military dictatorship in Chile. My Italian side is also connected to stories of migration, leaving Italy in response to the rise of Mussolini and working in the factories and mines in the U.S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/629c2dbe68ead969a764dd66/e59fc372-9c9d-4512-8c2b-eedc269f1c4c/AF81F475-1083-4B86-BAC7-9EE4DA619261.jpeg Home - Activism and Scholarship I believe that a diverse research agenda is crucial to fostering a more inclusive university. My research incorporates multiple methodologies that position me to collaborate with colleagues and departments outside of history. Even though my primary research area is race in 19th-century Chile, I maintain an active approach to my feminist research by participating in feminist spaces in Chile and Argentina and documenting social protests in both countries. Maintaining my commitment to activism has allowed me to stay tuned to shifts in political language, ideas, and new developments. This has benefited my teaching and research to remain relevant to current political discussions. https://buscandohistoria.squarespace.com/courses daily 0.75 2026-01-10
