UA Instruction Research Home

I teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate classes, from the surveys on colonial Latin America and colonial Mexico, to upper division courses on the Spanish conquest and the history of Central America, to graduate colloquia on Spanish America, religion in Latin America, ethnohistory, and World History. I'm also active as a graduate advisor to Masters and Ph.D. candidates in History and Latin American Studies. And I serve on the steering committee of the Group for Early Modern Studies, a collection of faculty and students from several colleges and departments across the campus working to promote interdisciplinary scholarship. Finally, in recent years, I've participated in a variety of outreach programs at the University, searching for ways to foster links with secondary school teachers in southern Arizona.
