Associate Professor, Society, Environment, and Health Equity Dept, UC Riverside I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Society, Environment, and Health Equity at the University of California, Riverside. Prior to that, I taught History and Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Georgia. I was also a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of History, Classics, and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, and a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar at the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I received my PhD in Latin American History with a Concentration in Gender Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2016. My book, titled A Miscarriage of Justice: Women’s Reproductive Lives and the Law in Early Twentieth-Century Brazil (Stanford University Press, 2020), examines reproductive health in relation to legal and medical policy in Brazil’s then-capital city. It won the 2021 Murdo J. MacLeod Book Prize from the Latin American and Caribbean Section of the Southern Historical Association. In addition to my teaching at UCR, I have taught Latin American and gender history at UGA, UCLA, Occidental College in Los Angeles, and the University of Edinburgh. At UGA, I was the faculty adviser to the Demosthenian Literary Society, UGA’s oldest student club, from 2019 to 2024.
