I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at Michigan State University whose research examines soccer clubs and urban life in Buenos Aires during the 20th century. I will be in Buenos Aires for most of 2013 doing dissertation research made possible by a Fulbright IIE Award and a FIFA João Havelange Research Scholarship. I am also the co-founder of the Football Scholars Forum, a soccer think-tank that collaborates online to discuss and develop fútbol scholarship. I am also the co-editor of gradhacker.org, a blog and podcast for graduate students, by graduate students.
