I am an associate professor of Geography at the University of Washington in Seattle. I research themes of race, nature and migration, focusing on environmental justice and Latinidades. My book, Green Wars: Conservation and Decolonization in Guatemala's Maya Forest , critiques the criminalization of Indigenous land activists in settler colonialism and calls for a material decolonization based on Q'eqchi' Maya territoriality.

 I teach classes including: Race, Nature & Power (Autumn 2019); Environmental Justice (Autumn 2019); and a co-facilitated seminar on Indigenous Methodologies (coming soon.). ​​If you are applying to our geography graduate program (MA/PhD), please look over my teaching & advising page and write me a brief email.
