My scholarship draws on my training in cultural history, environmental humanities, engaged research methods, Latin American Studies, intercultural exchange, visual culture, public history, cultural landscapes, the U.S. West, and Native American and Indigenous Studies. I consider relationships and reciprocity carefully and pursue right relationships with the communities descended from or related to the peoples and places I write about.
