My research interest in Latin America is diverse. With respect to anthropology, I wrote a research paper on how Florentine Codex translations showed European bias is imbued in the study of Aztec homosexuality. As a person with Aztec ancestry, my research interests also revolve around Aztec culture and politics more generally. Within political science, I am fascinated by the implementation of various political philosophies (e.g. social contract theory) within Latin American constitutions and government institutions, and am interested in researching their success, particularly in Mexico.
