About
My research analyzes modernity through women’s experiences of food across class in 1940s and 1950s rural and urban Mexico. It challenges the assumption that women and private life did not play an important role in modernization by situating women, the kitchen and its practices at the forefront of this process. Therefore, my dissertation explores modernity through women’s choices of new ingredients, culinary practices, and domestic technologies; but also through nutrition discourses, policies, and welfare programs. This work draws on a variety of sources such as state archives, contemporary professional journals, cookbooks, women’s magazines, and 30 interviews carried out among elderly women in Mexico City and Guanajuato.
Currently I am working on a project about milk consumption in 1940s and 1950s Mexico.
