Ph.D. Candidate in Marketing at IAE Poitiers – University de Poitiers (CEREGE)
Federico García Baena is currently PhD candidate under the supervision of Professor Thomas Stenger (CEREGE). His doctoral research focuses on the self-tracking experience of the culturally situated boxer, CrossFit, and fitness enthusiasts. With an ethnographic method, Federico dived in these different sub-cultures for years to understand their self-tracking and life experience. His research interests range from consumer cultures to notions of self, identity, and the body, and to the sociology of recognition.
