Rooted in the medical humanities, Tudor’s research interests revolve around the eugenic construction and fascist conscription of identity in 20th century Europe. In particular, his work focuses on the evolution of indigenous eugenic movements amongst the German ethnic minorities in interwar Romania, and increasingly on their material and cultural legacies.
