Research
- My current research is focused on transnational Hispanic networks, migrations and anarchist print culture.
- Issues related to energy and society. I am particularly interested in the historical development of natural gas and oil regulatory policy.
- The history of mutual assistance and pension funds.
- I also continue to work as a public historian, particularly in the areas of oral history, family history and organizational history.
