Signed with @UnivNebPress to publish "Restoring All through Christ: Counterrevolution and the Women of Mexican Catholic Action, 1917-46." A book about right-wing politics, race, class, gender, and religion. Grateful to @EmilyKCasillas and my generous peer reviewer. STAY TUNED!
Check out my recent article w/ @SHAFRhistorians on anti-communist hispanism, as advanced by US and Mexican Catholics during the first Red Scare:

Who's going to tell JD Vance that guns aren't coming from Mexico to the United States, but the other way around?
Want to learn more about Mexican women's challenges in the labor force? Read my contribution (and others') to the following Q&A in the Latin America Advisor, a daily publication of @The_Dialogue. Special thanks to @niliXb

Mexico has elected its first woman and first Jewish president. She defeated a political coalition that included the old ruling party of 71 years and, at 35 million votes, garnered about 60% of the vote and more votes than any other candidate in history 🇲🇽

Who is surprised that universities built on slaveowner money are now bent on silencing student opposition to their (very literal) investment in the war industry and the military industrial complex? 3+ centuries of profiting from devalued human life 🤦

Looking for recs! One of my bright and inquisitive graduate students is putting together a bibliography on the legacies of masculinity and gender performance in the Spanish Empire. Any suggestions on colonial Latin American scholarship beyond Mexico? Thanks!😎
My TA and @BaylorHistory grad, @davidnanninga, giving a master class on Charles Lindbergh and the America First Committee during the last week of class in our global fascism course 👏🏽 @BUHistory
Here at @BUHistory, students learn to think critically about the past and lean into complexity thanks to the work of historians like @fhinojosa956 "Museums are a place for guests to question their perceptions of society," one of my students wrote. @smithsonian, take note!
Professors @JFernandez693 and @fhinojosa956 explain how they curated the ¡Presente! exhibit associated with the National Museum of the American Latino which is facing backlash from the right. "Unfortunately, conservative Latinos don't want to hear that narrative,” says Fernández.
Check out my review of Dr. Margaret Chowning's new book, Catholic Women and Mexican Politics, 1750-1940, published in the Catholic Historical Review:

Reconciling this news with the fact that Mexico's 2021 midterm election cycle saw the murder of 14 women politicians, 7 of whom were aspiring candidates to Congress representing different parties
