My most recent publications, part of my current research project on the animal protection movement in Mexico, and its social and political implications include the following: Before and After: Dogs’ Biographies Along and Across the Mexico-US Border (Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience, 2025), and Gaining Voice through Injury: Voice and Corporeality in Animal Rights Activism in Ciudad Juarez (Cultural Anthropology, 2023). I also have a short essay in Sapiens: Anthropology Magazine on the relationship between animal protection activism and politics in Mexico. These publications are part of my current research project on the animal protection movement, and its social and political implications in Mexico.
In addition to these essays, I write on a wide range of subjects mostly dealing with Mexico. I have published in other academic journals such as American Anthropologist, the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, and the Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology. I have also published in more public venues such as my 2019 piece on psychedelic mushrooms for Public Books, my co-authored piece “Who doesn’t love a taco? “Taste the Nation” & the problem with neoliberal immigrant rights activism that appeared in Salon, and my op-ed in the LA Times En Español on animals and the war on drugs in Mexico.
My 2017 article in American Anthropologist, “Uncertain futures: The Unfinished Houses of Undocumented Migrants in Oaxaca, Mexico” received the 2020 Prize for Exemplary Cross-Field Scholarship from the General Anthropology Division.
