Harry Churchill is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History. His research focuses on the political economy and cultural history of alcohol in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Chile, Argentina and Southern Brazil. He interrogates economic processes of trade, immigration, urbanization, and agricultural production. More broadly, he is interested in alcohol’s role in the construction of patriarchy, the class structure, social conditions stemming from capitalism, and contested understandings of the role of the state in peoples’ lives and health, as well as a range of national identity formations across Latin America and the Caribbean.
