Hi, I am Marcelo Carocci. I am a History and Anthropology Instructor and a PhD Candidate in History of Science at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon.
About Me…
I was born and raised in Brazil a long time ago, and immigrated to the US in the early 90s. I began college then, but did not finish my undergraduate degree until 2016. From the time I started college to my graduation in 2016, I was a ‘man of many parts.’ I worked in law enforcement, hospitality and logistics. In 2016, I was accepted into the graduate program in Anthropology at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, and finished it with a Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology in 2018. That same year, I switched to Oregon State’s History of Science, and advanced to PhD Candidacy in History of Science in 2020.
