About
I am a sociocultural anthropologist who investigates poverty, statecraft, and kinship in urban Latin America. I received my Ph.D. in 2014 from the Department of Anthropology at Brown University where I studied political and legal anthropology, Latin American studies, urban anthropology, and the anthropology of population (a subfield that encompasses kinship, gender, reproduction, migration, life course, and the politics of numbers). At Brown, I was an active member of interdisciplinary programs such as the Population Studies and Training Center and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I have continued these interdisciplinary engagements in my postdoctoral career; first as a Visiting Research Fellow in the Cities and Development Cluster at the London School of Economics and then a Lecturer and Undergraduate Advisor in Harvard University's interdisciplinary Social Science Research concentration. I am currently Assistant Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Anthropology at Tufts University where I teach courses on ethnographic methods and global urban poverty.
