She co-directs the Following the Manito Trail project (www.followmanitotrail.com), which looks at the Hispanic New Mexican, or Manito, diaspora from the mid-1800's to the present. The project team has conducted about 40 interviews of New Mexicans who migrated to Wyoming in the early 1900s and is now looking at Eastern Arizona as a migration point for New Mexicans who found work in the sheepherding and mining industries. She is interested in oral histories, folklore, digital stories, and how one develops a sense of place for home and for new environments as a result of migration.
