I’m a professor of history and gender, sexuality and feminist studies at Duke University. My work focuses on the relationships between gender, sexuality, and colonialism; my books include The Flower and the Scorpion: Sexuality and Ritual in Early Nahua Culture, From Moon Goddesses to Virgins: The Colonization of Yucatecan Maya Sexual Desire and Infamous Desire: Male Homosexuality in Colonial Latin America.
