I am an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. My ethnographic research examines how Latin Americans use different forms of social organizing in response to structures of inequality and violence, with a particular focus on the intersection of gender and racialization.
I am currently developing a research project on militarized masculinities among marginalized San Diegans (California).
Women's activism against violence in Michoacán, Mexico

In previous years, I have been affiliated with the University of California San Diego in the US, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, the University of Edinburgh, the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford, and the University of Aberdeen in the UK, and the University of Bonn and the LMU Munich in Germany.
