rkittles@williams.edu Roger A Kittleson's teaching ranges across Latin American history from the European invasion to the present, with a special interest in political and cultural history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His current research focuses on the construction of identities in Brazilian soccer from the late 1950s mid-1980s. Looking particularly at debates over strategies and styles of play in Brazil, he examines the tense negotiations of race, masculinity, and region in a period from the heroic triumph of three World Cup victories to the anguished discussions that resulted from the bitter failures of the early post-Pelé period. His previous work centered on the formation of the social and cultural history of political ideas in Brazils southernmost state over the second half of the nineteenth century, from the close of one civil war in 1845 to the outbreak of a second in the 1890s. The emergence of new political identities during and after slavery lie at the heart of that project and are the topic of his other new research, which takes on the adaptation of Liberal thought in Brazil in the late colonial and early independent era. In addition to his surveys on colonial and modern Latin American history, Roger's courses include 100-level seminars on gender in the twentieth century and the rise and fall of the Mexican Revolution; upper-division classes on modern Brazil, nations and nationalisms in Latin America; a research seminar on slavery, race, and ethnicity in Latin American; and a tutorial on revolutionary thought in the regions history.
