About
Christopher is a second year PhD candidate working under the supervision of Dr. Amitava Chowdhury. His doctoral research examines race in nineteenth-century British Honduras (Belize) during the Caste War of Yucat谩n. More specifically, it looks at how administrators and entrepreneurs attempted to practically and ideologically incorporate Caste War refugees into the colony鈥檚 timber-based economy. It also explores how the inhabitants of this imperial frontier continually thwarted neighboring states鈥� attempts to make sense of their complex social reality and dominate them.
