Cultural educator and historian
«We are our memory; we are that chimerical museum of ever-changing forms. Jorge Luis Borges»
Within the field of historical research, I am particularly interested in the New Spain period, specifically the processes of religiosity and the role played by the mendicant orders in the construction of New Spain. I enjoy exploring topics such as monastic life, writings produced within the cloisters, and Christian iconography, understanding them not only as expressions of the spirituality of their time but also as elements that helped define the identity and cultural landscape of viceregal society.
On the other hand, I have a deep interest in the study of 20th-century popular culture, particularly the history of entertainment venues and forms of social interaction in contemporary Mexico. I am interested in tracing social changes through both urban and rural expressions, observing iconic places such as theaters, bars, dance halls, stadiums, and arenas—venues that preserve much of the collective memory and everyday experiences of different generations.
