- Bio:
Clio Isaacson is a PhD candidate in Latin American history. Her research focuses on Indigenous women in central Mexico during the colonial period. Her dissertation, “Women of the Nahuatl Annals: Writing the Lives of Women in Late Pre-Hispanic and Early Colonial Mexico,” examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Nahuas portrayed women when writing about the history of their own communities in their own language. By centering sources that were written away from the oversight of Spanish authorities, she highlights how Nahuas perceived women and their experiences in the realms of religion, war, politics, and the imposition of Spanish colonial rule. She is a recipient of the Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship.

- Bio:
I'm a Chilean PhD student, I hold a bachelor's in psychology and a master’s degree in Social Psychology. My research focuses on the relationship between the rejection of immigrants and whiteness, state violence, processes of racialization, and frontiers in the north of Chile. Also, I have researched topics in gender and sexuality, and youth. In parallel, I became a historical memory activist belonging to the "agrupación Providencia", an organization that promoted the declaration of a former clandestine detention and torture center of the Chilean military dictatorship -still occupied by the police- as a site of memory, the organization nowadays is disputing the building with the Chilean police to convert it to an "alive" memory site.

My work examines peasants' (campesinos and campesinas) property configurations in protected areas in northern Colombia –where I collaborate with Martha Forero, a social leader from Cesar– and solidarity networks among Central American rural farmworkers in the north of the U.S –where I collaborate with Mujeres Divinas NY–. I am also interested in extractivism and the energy transition in Colombia. I love drawing, taking photographs, and going on long walks.

Javiera Madrid-Salazar’s work sits at the intersection of political ecology, Science and Technology Studies, and postcolonial theory. Her research uses qualitative methods to analyze historical and contemporary resource extraction in Latin America. By focusing on the historical development of the mining sector in Chile, Javiera’s work investigates how scientific knowledge and practices in the geosciences have shaped extraction-centered imaginaries of development and existing social hierarchies. Javiera holds an MA in Global Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a BA in History from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Josh Anthony is a doctoral candidate studying the Indigenous history of Mexico. His dissertation, "A Nahua Family History: Kinship and Colonialism in Amaquemecan Chalco, 1465-1630" uses Nahuatl-language sources to follow one Indigenous family as they weathered Aztec conquest, the Spanish invasion, and the imposition of colonial rule and Christian religion. Josh's research examines how Nahua kinship practices evolved across three centuries, and how Indigenous people used kinship to understand their precolonial past and colonial present. Josh is the co-editor, along with Camilla Townsend, of After the Broken Spears: The Aztecs in the Wake of Conquest, under contract with Oxford University Press for 2024. He is also the author of a new translation and study of the Codex Otlazpan and Tepexic, under contract with the Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies for 2025. At Rutgers, Josh was a founder and co-organizer of the joint Princeton-Rutgers Latin America and Caribbean Workshop and a co-organizer of the Nation and Empire Reading Group. He earned his B.A. in History and Classic Civilizations at Fordham University in 2019.

The kaleidoscope of the Maya Forest – agricultural change, forest governance and vegetation dynamics in communities of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
- Abstract of Dissertation Work:
The current Mexican government has proposed a regional development plan in the Selva Maya that promotes multifunctional landscapes to address forest loss, climate change, and poverty alleviation through new forest governance arrangements. This development plan is composed of two synergistic projects, the first is the construction of the Mayan Touristic Train of 948 miles in length. The second is a public policy called Sembrando Vida, the most extensive reforestation program in the history of Mexico with a projection of 2 million hectares planted with timber and fruit trees. My research will focus on current frontier formations in the Maya Forest in Mexico as a case to expand on the recognition of how agrarian communities and forests relate and are co-constitutive. To do so, I will first characterize peasants' perspectives of the internal functioning of the ejido (agrarian communities under common management) and the values they assign to forests and Land. Second, I will analyze forest degradation using satellite images and pattern-based statistical models to generate future scenarios of forest degradation to 2025 and 2030. Finally, I will integrate peasants ' perspectives into the degradation analysis by discussing how these scenarios contrast with peasant imaginaries about future environmental and social change, producing what I have called "the kaleidoscope of the Maya Forest."

My work is focused on remote work view from different angles. During my masters’ degree, I approached this phenomenon from the worker’s perspective, the challenges it represents, and the opportunities it can create. I have also studied remote work through the digital nomad lens, looking at places effectively attracting, or seeking to attract, this niche population. For my dissertation, I intend to center my attention in one specific case study: Mexico City. My intention is to understand how newly arrived remote workers interact with the local communities and the impacts they may have in the spatial configuration and the construction of social fabric.
