Associate Vice President of Research, University of Iowa
I am a Religious Studies-trained Ph.D. and my research and scholarship focuses on religion, migration, and work in the United States. I focus on the cultural history and anthropology of Catholicism and am a specialist in Latina/x/o Catholicisms. I have authored five books and numerous articles and am working on a new book about the value of colleges and universities today, and why the humanities matter more than ever. I have been a college professor since 2001, and have mentored numerous undergraduates and graduate students in the humanities and adjacent fields. I am currently Associate Vice President of Research at The University of Iowa, where I oversee and support faculty and graduate student research and creative work in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
