One of the main areas of scientific inquiry in which Nuno Medeiros has become specialized is Historical Sociology of the book, publishing, bookselling, reading and print culture and communication, as well as cultural heritage and cultural practices. His current research is centred on mass publishing, popular culture and the study of publishing house archives as means of exploring the intricacies of the contemporary book in the Portuguese speaking world, with a special focus on Portugal, Brazil, and the cross Atlantic book trade, in authoritarian and democratic regimes. He has participated in and co-authored various structural R&D projects funded by the major funding institutions in Portugal, namely Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (the Portuguese science funding public agency) and the renowned Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. These research projects focused on themes such as reading in Portugal in the twentieth century, the social nature of reading, publishing and bookselling, popular books and mass market publishing, and book circulation and print culture in the Atlantic in colonial and post-colonial contexts. He is currently coordinating as PI a project about social perceptions of forest landowners on the forest and the rural world. His master’s thesis, from which his book, Edição e Editores: o mundo do livro em Portugal, 1940-1970 [Publishing and Publishers: the book world in Portugal, 1940-1970] (2010), is based upon, was awarded the Prémio Fundação Mário Soares, the most prestigious prize in Contemporary History in Portugal. More recently he has explored the social and historical realm of cooking, cuisine, and gastronomy, fields in which he intends to deepen the study of food as a social practice heavily inscribed in everyday life, both symbolically and culturally, as well as the study of national and local culinary traditions. He has also been working for almost two decades from a sociological and historical perspective on the topics of health and social structure, health professions, and environment, having two books published on these subjects, both co-authored. He has been the recipient several scientific fellowships or grants from such entities as Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portugal), Fundação Luso-Americana/Luso-American Foundation (Portugal), Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa Científica do Estado de São Paulo (Brazil) or Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa/European Commission (Portugal/EU).
