Biography

Daniel Rodriguez is an Associate Professor of History at Brown University. He received his PhD from New York University in 2013. His research examines social history in Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on 19th and 20th century Cuba. His book, "Right to Live Health: Medical Politics in Postcolonial Havana" (UNC Press, 2020), explores the struggles over disease and health that shaped the lives of Havana's residents during the transition from colonial rule to independence. His recent work investigates the history of childhood in post-emancipation Cuba, examining how new labor and political regimes transformed the meanings of childhood and the lived experiences of poor children in the wake of slavery. His work has been published in the Hispanic American Historical Review and Cuban Studies/Estudios Cubanos. He has received support from the Woodrow Wilson and Mellon Foundations and teaches courses on the history of welfare and philanthropy in the Americas, environmental history, and the history of gender and sexuality in Latin America and the Caribbean.
