Daniel W. Franken is Assistant Professor of Economic and Social History at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, where he teaches classes on globalization, quantitative methods, business history, and modern Latin America. His research interests lie at the intersection between quantitative history and public health, with a special focus on tropical disease and policy. Upcoming research projects include an examination of the impact of sanitation on infant mortality in São Paulo between 1870 and 1940 and a study on hookworm in Brazil in the early twentieth century.
