It offers a new interpretation of the history of the Northern Andes under colonial rule, demonstrating the limitations of Peruvian and Mexican models for understanding the rest of the Spanish empire. Also new methodologies for exploring colonial governance beyond the paradigm of state formation; 3/5

It is a history of colonialism, religious reform, law, and historical writing that explores the engagement of the Muisca peoples of the New Kingdom of Granada with Christianity, in the context of the construction of Spanish colonial rule and of Catholic or Counter Reformation. 2/5

I spend much of the rest of my time working collaboratively as part of neogranadina.org digitising archives in Latin America, making tools to make this work possible and accessible everywhere, and developing public-facing projects to bring historical knowledge to different audiences.
