Before starting at Pitt in the fall of 2022, I earned my BA in History at Hamline University in 2019. At Hamline, I wrote my undergraduate honor's thesis on the similarities and shared language of liberal movements in rural Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico during the 19th century. I argued that all three movements represented a bottom-up attempt at nation-construction, contrasting this effort with traditional state-centric notions of nationalism.
At Pitt, I would like to research transatlantic connections between French 48ers and Latin American liberals during the latter half of the 19th century, focusing in particular on the Chilean Revolution of 1851.
