I specialize in the history of the Americas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries focusing on international trade and foreign investments, on the livestock and meat industries of Brazil and Mexico, and on U.S.-Mexico relations. I am currently working on the following projects: a study of the conflicts behind meat industrialization in Mexico City, an analysis of meat consumption patterns in Rio de Janeiro based on spatial distribution patterns of slaughterhouses and butcher shops, and an examination of the north-Atlantic cattle trade from the 1880s to the 1950s. |
