Justin Greene is a Ph.D. student in sociocultural anthropology pursuing a Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies. His dissertation, titled "The Intervention Organ: An Ethnography of Leftist Publication in São Paulo," largely focuses on Revista Rosa (2020-present), a predominantly online magazine and self-described "intervention organ [órgão de intervenção] in the fight for democracy and social justice." Drawing upon almost three years of archival, literary, and ethnographic research, "The Intervention Organ" explores how publication — referring to both a circulating medium, like a magazine, and a form of public action realized through the work of writing, editing, and translation — is understood as a mode of critical intervention, particularly amid shifting political conjunctures over the last five years in and beyond Brazil.
His critical writing appears or is forthcoming in Luso-Brazilian Review, Anthropological Theory, and Anthropology News, among others. He is also a translator (from Portuguese to English) and poet, having received his MFA from Louisiana State University.
