I am a cultural anthropologist who specializes in questions of how human beings understand and create justice in the aftermath of gender-based violence.

Regionally, I focus on Latin America, and have conducted long-term ethnographic research in Argentina. I am especially interested in the legacy of family activism in Latin America as a method of seeking and cultivating justice and working towards repair.

Currently I am a lecturer in the department of Modern and Classical Literatures and Cultures and the Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Rice University in Houston, Texas.

In 2020, I co-founded La Red Interamericana Anti-Femicidio (RIAF) a multilingual/interdisciplinary community for academic and activist dialogue on feminicide in the Américas.

I hold a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in sociocultural anthropology with a minor in Gender Relations in International Development.
