I did a PhD in Social Anthropology at Cambridge University (1981-1985), with 16 months of fieldwork in Colombia, exploring ethnic relations and ideas about racial difference. I then held a Research Fellowship at Queens\u2019 College, Cambridge, and did another 14 months of fieldwork in Colombia, focusing on black migrants to the city of Medell\u00edn. In 1988, I became a lecturer in the University of Liverpool and, in 1995, in the University of Manchester, where I am now professor. Since 1988, I have done several spells of fieldwork in Colombia, looking at the black social movement and constitutional reform, and tracing the social history of Colombian popular music in the twentieth century and its connections with ideas about nation and race.<\/p>\n
I then began exploring the construction of nature, biology, genetics and culture in ideas about race and as part of this directed a project \u201cRace, genomics and mestizaje<\/em> (mixture) in Latin America: a comparative approach<\/a>\u201d (2010-2013). From 2017-2019, I co-directed the project \u201cLatin American Anti-racism in a ‘Post-Racial’ Age – LAPORA<\/a>\u201d, with M\u00f3nica Moreno Figueroa (University of Cambridge).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”3.17.6″][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – L\u00facia S\u00e1” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” module_alignment=”left” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n I joined the University of Manchester in 2006 after having worked at Stanford University (1999-2006).

Since 2014 I have been Lecturer in Latin American Cultural Studies at the University of Manchester. I am also Co-Director of the university\u2019s Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Broadly speaking, my research focuses on race in contemporary Latin American cultural production, with special attention to the Southern Cone and the Andean countries.\u00a0My monograph The Darkening Nation: Race, Neoliberalism and Crisis in Argentina<\/em>, published by University of Wales Press in 2018, explores the connections between the 2001 financial meltdown in Argentina and the crisis of narratives of whiteness and national belonging, by examining literary texts, popular music, artworks and films. I have also written on indigeneity and modernist photography in Argentina, kitsch and the racialised politics of taste in the Andes, and YouTube and race in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n
