Speaking, interviews & shared questions

Let’s make history
a conversation.

For podcasts, classrooms, publications, reading groups, and organizations with a story to tell.

A different way into a familiar story.

Stephen’s work offers entry points into animation and representation, the Latinx roots of superheroes, women’s religious history, and the relationships between local communities and global movements.

Speaking & interviews

  • Popular culture and the past. Zorro, Speedy Gonzales, and the histories behind familiar characters.
  • Mexico and Latin America. Lives and ideas that cross national borders.
  • Religion, women, and public life. Recovering stories that complicate institutional histories.

History beyond the university

Stephen is interested in conversations about using archives to tell the story of a place. His classroom work with pop-up history exhibits provides a starting point for exploring what your organization’s collection might reveal.

Start with the details.

Include your proposed topic, audience, date, format, location, and budget when you reach out. Availability and the scope of any engagement can then be discussed directly.
