I am a historian who works at the nexus of geography and anthropology in the Guianas, and received my PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the past, I have been a Postdoctoral Associate of the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale University, a National Endowment for the Humanities Long-term Fellow of the John Carter Brown Library, a Peter Buck Fellow of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and a visiting scholar of the John W. Kluge Center of the Library of Congress. Currently, I am a Research Fellow of the National Museum of the American Indian and co-director of The Healing and Harming Garden project at UCLA. I am completing a manuscript titled "Bush Work: A History of Trafficking Knowledge in Greater Amazonia and the Caribbean." If you would like a copy of my CV, please contact me.
