Research and Teaching Interests:
My work explores Cold War-era anarchism, organized labor, and armed struggle. I situate the Uruguayan Anarchist Federation (FAU) within Argentine and Uruguayan Dirty War histories. My research pivots around the FAU to explore everyday people’s protagonism in over two thousand illegalized work actions (including strikes, sabotage, occupations, and extortion) between 1968 and 1973.
