ABOUT ME
My name is Carlos Parra and I am a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and I am fascinated by the history and peoples of the U.S.-Mexican border region. I study Mexican, U.S., Mexican American and Latino American history, focusing on identity formation, cultural development, and the crossing of borders in multiple directions across time. As a former teacher and as someone deeply interested in public history, I share my passion for education and the past along with my love of photography as a way of broadening our understanding of the Mexican-American borderlands and the deep binational connections the region possesses.

I hate to see a fence anywhere. I hope there won't be a fence here too long. |
