My doctoral project comparatively explores how Indigenous groups and individuals responded to and identified Europeans in moments of first encounter in the Caribbean and Mesoamerica. In particular, the project focuses on methodological issues arising from the uncovering and 'reading' of Indigenous voices and actions in the (ethno)historical record.
My wider research surround cultural encounter, Indigenous histories, space, and identity (especially cultural intermediaries and the notion of 'in-betweenness'). I'm also very interested in digital history and methodology.edit
