I work on nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, focusing on medical, environmental and indigenous history. My new book project, Gulf of Disease: Public Health in Latin America and the Invention of Trans-Caribbean Identity, explores public health in Latin America's tropics.
