Christian Stenz holds a BA in History and Political Science from the University of Zurich and an MA from the University of Heidelberg. He is currently a PhD student and research assistant at the Chair of Modern History in Heidelberg. He is working on a project about German-speaking planters and collectors in Guatemala in the second half of the 19th century. He is investigating the intersection of collecting practices and the management of a plantation and their fundamental importance for the establishment of a "racial capitalism" in modern Guatemala.

His research interests include the social and economic history and cultural history of Central and Latin America in a global context, with a particular focus on the history of knowledge, collecting, the environment and material culture(s). He teaches courses on colonialism, transimperial history and European expansion in the "long" 19th century. Visits and field trips to archives and museum collections are an important part of this teaching activity.
