Associate Professor
I am a historian of colonial Mexico, studying the intersection of human culture and environmental factors such as disease, climate, and land use. I make extensive use of methods in the Spatial Humanities such as georectification of historical maps, development of geodatabases, crowdsourcing big-data projects, mapping social and environmental relationships, and using spatial statistics and other forms of analysis to derive meaning from data. I integrate research from the humanities, social sciences, and the physical sciences to enable a deep interdisciplinary view of history.
