Sobre mi:
I am historian of modern Central America, specialising on histories of environment, landscapes and science between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. I am currently working on her second book project, tentatively entitled “Making National Heritage in Transnational Environments, 1890-1940”, funded by a Leverhulme Fellowship. This project examines how Maya archaeological sites were transformed into tourist sites and ‘national heritage’ in twentieth century Guatemala, and the influence of surrounding agricultural landscapes and agribusiness on this process.
