Combining her interests in history and Spanish language in her academic research into Latin American history, and through her participation in the Latin American Studies Program in Puebla, Mexico in 2018, her research includes themes relating to leftist organizing amidst United States interventionism in 20th century Latin America.
Her senior research project examined primary sources surrounding the 1928 massacre of striking banana workers in Colombia and analyzed the influence of U.S. economic investment. She continued along these themes in her research into to the Tupamaro resistance movement that took place in Uruguay in the 1960s-1970s, as well as exploring how it contributed to the landscape of Latin American resistance movements.
Nathan was especially interested in the development of ideologies and their impact on political and cultural movements. For my final research paper of the year, he investigated the development of nationalist and socialist identities in 20th century Vietnam, with a particular focus on connections with emerging international socialism.
Outside of classes, he was a captain on Seattle University's cross country and track teams, and enjoyed reading, listening to music, and political activism. Following graduation, he planned to pursue a certificate in Computer Science at SU.
