teaching

I have taught courses at North Carolina State University and Stanford University, and have given invited lectures at other universities in the United States and Brazil. At NC State, I have taught at both graduate and undergraduate levels, where I usually offer courses on the history of modern Latin America (19th and 20th century), US-Latin American relations, history of cities in Latin America, Digital History, and Spatial History. I am also introducing a course on the history of Brazil. All my courses have strong digital and environmental history components.

I also have co-taught experimental courses with colleagues in the Department of Computer Science and the College of Design, where groups of students from the three disciplines (history, computer science, design) created historically-based virtual reality applications. In 2023-2024, I had the chance to offer in-person workshops on teaching Latin American environmental history topics to non-Latin Americanist instructors, as part of RECSLAC.
