I am a Lecturer in Latin American History at UCL. I am primarily a historian of Western Hemisphere lefts in the modern period, with a particular focus on socialists and communists in post-revolutionary Mexico. I also work on Cold War historiography and on transnational intellectual networks.
I did my PhD in London at the Institute for the Study of the Americas, University of London. From 2017-21 I was Lecturer in Modern History at St. Catherine’s College, University of Oxford. I previously taught at Warwick, LSE and Johns Hopkins (Bologna), as well as a prior stint at UCL.

Dear Dr. Booth,
In the course of this year I have interpreted at two Cambridge University events related to Latin America, one at CAMSED and one at the Institute of Education (video sample available). In both cases, there was a speaker who preferred to give his talk in Spanish and I interpreted into English.
I am writing to you to enquire whether you might need an interpreter at your forthcoming “Radical Americas” conference. I am a UCL graduate, Westminster postgraduate, IoL qualified interpreter (DPSI awarded in 2005 with a distinction and three merits). I am an EU citizen, born in Mexico.
Regards,
Adriana Alexander, B.A., PGCert, DPSI (English – Latin American Spanish)
Dear Adriana,
Many thanks for your interest in the conference; I’m afraid we are conducting this entire conference in English. However, in the future we might wish to offer Spanish or Portuguese panels so we will bear you in mind.
Best wishes
