Research and Writing

At this point, the unifying question underlying my scholarship is “How ideas circulate and influence political practices and policymaking?” My current research focuses, in particular, on the circulation of ideas and the international cooperation between right-wing movements in Germany and in Brazil during the 1930s. This particular subject also informs my research and writings on current affairs dedicated mostly to the re-emergence of right-wing movements and ideas in Europe and the Americas.
