My research explores contesting heritage claims in the archaeological site of El Tajín, Mexico. I am interested in the ways that labor unions, oil companies, and government institutions interact with local populations to construct, appropriate, and contest Tajín’s heritage; the historical development of the site from juridical, archaeological, and local perspectives; and the daily life and lived experience of working on a site simultaneously claimed as local, national, and world heritage. I received my BA in Anthropology and Spanish from DePauw University.
