My research engages with the history of political thought and state-building in nineteenth century Latin America. I recently completed my doctorate in History at Wolfson College, Oxford, where I analysed the rise and fall of the Rio Grandense Republic (1836-1845), situated between Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. My upcoming book explains both the inner-workings of this tentative state and the transnational context of its emergence, which attracted the attention of revolutionary exiles such as Giuseppe Garibaldi. My doctoral research led me to ongoing inquiries into topics such as Latin American constitutionalism and caudillismo, and transoceanic revolutionary networks up to 1848. More broadly, I am interested in Intellectual and Atlantic history between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
