Between 2015 and 2017 I held a post as a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich and am the editor of the Journal of Latin American Geography.
My research focuses on the intersection of sport and the city, specifically looking at the ways in which the political economy of the global sports industrial complex intersects with the political economy of host cities. I have examined the conflicts and contradictions of these processes in a number of different contexts, but have maintained a strong focus on Rio de Janeiro and the unfortunate outcomes there after a decade of mega-events.
My academic articles and journalistic pieces can be accessed here.
I currently live in New York City and am working on a more elaborate articulation of the ideas that are explored in the video lectures that appear on the blog. This is no longer an active site where I catalogue the travails of Rio and Brazil, but has become a repository of information for scholars and researchers.
