S., European, and World History Biography. I am a historian of Latin America. I am primarily interested in colonial Mexico within the Atlantic World, and I am currently conducting research in seven languages on corruption. Corruption is clearly an important challenge for the entire world. In Latin America, millions have marched in the past years to oust corrupt governments. Yet less is known about early modern practices. Much of what is now illegal was not considered as such, while in some ways early modern and current notions overlap. For example, bribing judges to change a sentencing was overwhelmingly seen as illegal, just as today.

In particular, I focused on the court of a Mexican viceroy called the Duke of Alburquerque (1. New Mexico. He steered New Spain, as colonial Mexico was known, through the rocky times of the War of Succession (1. At the same time he took bribes so liberally that he fell from grace. The duke paid just under 7. This unheard- of indemnity portended larger changes in the imperial framework. Selected Publications. Books.
