Marco Cabrera Geserick

Marco Cabrera Geserick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies at Northern Arizona University, specializing in the intersection of global historical narratives and cultural phenomena through the lens of sports history.

His research prominently explores Cultural Studies, Global History, and Sports History with acute focus on soccer's evolution from 1945 to contemporary times. Dr. Cabrera Geserick investigates how soccer functions as a cultural force shaping national identities, international relations, and societal transformations in the post-World War II era, examining its role in both reflecting and driving cross-cultural exchanges across geopolitical boundaries.

His scholarly output centers on the 2011 chapter 'Global Soccer, 1945-Present' within the World History Encyclopedia, which establishes foundational analysis of soccer's institutionalization and cultural significance during the Cold War period through modern globalization. This work demonstrates consistent thematic emphasis on sports as historical actors rather than mere recreational activities, revealing complex interactions between athletic institutions and broader socio-political developments.
