My interest in Spanish history began as an undergraduate while participating in the University of Michigan’s Residential College (RC) intensive Spanish language program and after spending a semester at the Universidad de Sevilla with a study abroad program. In 2010, I graduated from U of M with a double major in history and Spanish and a minor in music. That fall, I began the University of California- San Diego (UCSD)’s graduate program in modern European history under the direction of Pamela Radcliff. During the 2013-14 academic year I conducted the research for my dissertation in Madrid, Spain as a Fulbright Fellow. After completing my Ph.D. in June 2017 with a Harry F. Guggenheim Fellowship, I spent a year as an adjunct professor of humanities at San Diego Miramar College, teaching a course to active-duty Marines on the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar base. I then spent three years as a visiting assistant professor at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey with its team-taught Humanities program. I am now an assistant professor with the Program in Cultures, Civilizations and Ideas at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey.
In addition to pursuing my research, I present my work and organize panels regularly at conferences, especially those of the Association of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Association, and I am the production editor of the Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies. I have published in War & Society, European History Quarterly, Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies and Revista de Historiografía. I enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, and playing the violin in my spare time. |
