A cultural and social anthropologist, she has conducted ethnographic research with Santer?a practitioners in Cuba and the United States since 2003. Her book, Electric Santer?a: Racial and Sexual Assemblages of Transnational Religion (Columbia University Press, 2015) details the transnational experience of Santer?a, in which racialized and gendered spirits,deities, priests, and religious travelers remake local, national, and political boundaries and actively reconfigure notions of technology and transnationalism. She is a member of the Cuba Policy Committee at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, an associate of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and a Ford Foundation Fellow.
