Dr Daniel McDonald

I am a historian of Latin America and the Caribbean whose research centers on modern Brazil and the global history of Catholicism. My current work explores issues of citizenship, liberation theology, cities, popular and transnational social movements, and the Cold War. I also publish on the digital and public humanities and conduct projects involving participatory community-based digitization and spatial analysis.

At Oxford, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the history of Catholicism in Latin America. As part of the role, I am an affiliate of the Latin American Centre and "The Global Pontificate of Pius XII: Catholicism in a Divided World" research network. Before coming to Oxford, I held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University and the University of Rochester. I received my PhD in Latin American and Caribbean History from Brown University.

Research Interests

  • Citizenship and Inequality
  • Global History of Catholicism
  • Urban History
  • Migration
  • The Cold War

I am interested in how non-elite actors constructed novel understandings of rights and democracy

Biography

Canadian freestyle wrestler Danny MacDonald made his Olympic debut at Amsterdam 1928 where he fought in the featherweight class, winning in the quarter-finals over Harold Angus of Great Britain, before losing in the semi-finals to the eventual bronze medalist Hans Minder of Switzerland, and finishing in sixth. Four years later and fighting in the welterweight class at Los Angeles 1932, MacDonald defeated Japan’s Yoshio Kono and Hungary’s Gyula Zombori in the first two rounds, before having three bad points in a defeat against upcoming gold medalist American Jack VanBebber. He received one more bad point in his victory against Germany’s Jean Foldeak, but defeated Finland’s Eino Leino in the final round to capture the silver medal.

The Canadian welterweight champion, MacDonald moved up a weight class to middleweight winning back-to-back national championships from 1933-1935, before officially retiring. A talented swimmer, MacDonald ran a dairy farm near Toronto.

MacDonald was inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in 1976.
