Research Interests and
Publications:
I am interested in sport as an identity
ritual and a ritual of power in trans-Atlantic interactions between
the Americas and Europe. My research focuses on modern Brazil,
Uruguay and Argentina. The title of my dissertation is,
��Building the New Brazilian Man:
Football, Eugenics and Public Policy in the Making of the Ra�a
Brasileiro, 1894-1950.� More broadly my research deals with
popular culture, labor history and the history of science and
attempts to engage with scholars across disciplines.
