I couldn't be more excited to be an @acls1919.bsky.social fellow this year! I'm even more honored to be announced alongside such brilliant scholars and cohort members. 🥰 You can catch me next year reading and writing about Latinos and far-right politics so come say hi if you are too!
Looking for suggestions for secondary readings on COINTELPRO and the Young Lords, anyone written anything or have anything to share? (Obviously already have the brilliant Johanna Fernández in the mix)
Really proud of what Dan HoSang and I created together with this special issue of @LatinxTalk on Latinos and the Right. You can read my introduction and the other pieces here: latinxtalk.org/2025/08/06/i...
📣 Are you doing Latino Public History in your classrooms? I want to talk! 🙋♀️ I'm building a new class & want to talk to folks who have tried this in their classroom (succesful or not!) & how to build out shareable tools for us to all be able to do these projects in our classes. Please share widely! 💫
*Making the Latino South* looking cute 😍 at the #OAH. My book has the best book series siblings around thanks to @monijimenez.bsky.social & @loriflores.bsky.social. Thanks so much to @latinxhistories.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social for the love ✨💖
🎧Great to chat with @wunc.org about the Duke Latine History exhibit currently on display @durhamhistorync.bsky.social. Check out the interview & the exhibit next time you're in downtown Durham! 🐂❤️🔥 www.wunc.org/show/due-sou...
Congratulations @emmaamador.bsky.social !!!
✨I am thrilled to share the cover of my book —The Politics of Care Work: Puerto Rican Women Organizing for Social Justice— which will be published by @dukepress.bsky.social on April 25, 2025. (Link below)✨🧵
📢I'm excited to announce that the exhibit my students curated on the History of Latine students at Duke is traveling once again and is on display at the Museum of Durham History. If you're local, be sure to check it out! t.co/6cJ9QIUyUX
You can catch me today on CSPAN lecturing to my wonderful Duke students about Latino History in the South. I’m on at 11am, 8pm and 11pm. 📺✨ www.c-span.org/event/lectur...
Thank you!! I hope they like it 💖 p.s. working my way through Partisans, and I really want to chat once I'm done...it has been such a generative text and a model for writing for a broader audience.
😭 that is very kind and maybe something i need to be reminded of hourly for the next....year and a half? what a chill career we are in.
That would be awesome! I really appreciate it.
Hi friends! At the end of this semester, I'm going up for tenure 😬😅Could you please🙏let me know if you have assigned my work in your classes?✨Please share so I can find any/all folks and I'll love you forever.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.
Relieved to be wrapping up this semester which was...a lot. A bright spot for me has been working with my "History of Latinxs in the US" class on a project abt the history of Latinx people in Durham, NC. They created a Zine with their research available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1kdZZ...
Friends, please help me spreading the word about this Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity at Penn for a scholar to work at the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies. More info here: apply.interfolio.com/160769
Coffee shop or library dates? I'm in a writing sprint too!
Hey! I keep trying to add you but for some reason your name isn't popping up in the search...is your account private or hidden in some way that might be preventing me from adding you?
A convo with @paperbacksfrybread.bsky.social, an indie bookstore in #NorthCarolina that centers on Indigenous stories.
Calling it just a bookstore is an injustice though. It’s also a curated collection of Native history, culture, and support for banned books.

Done!
I’ve created a Puerto Rican Studies starter pack to foster community in the cielos azules. Please share, join, and invite others!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

A reminder that just because a policy is popular doesn't make it right.
Very excited for your pitches
Súper emocionada por posibles propuestas 🤓🙌🏾
Doing historical research isn’t just an intellectual enterprise; it’s emotional and embodied.
I legit almost threw up earlier this morning while researching etymology related to the year 1712.
If you’re a historian and/or do archival research, how do you handle the SHOCK of revelation?

Who are the river people on here? Hydrologists, geomorphologists, historians, anthropologists, poets, writers, people who love them. Looking to make a starter pack!
