These research projects focused on themes such as urban popular culture, reading in Portugal in the 20th 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. 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], is based upon, was awarded the Prémio Fundação Mário Soares, the most prestigious prize in Contemporary History in Portugal.

One of the main areas of scientific inquiry in which Nuno Medeiros has become specialized is Historical Sociology of Culture, cultural practices and representations, cross-cultural circulation, and cultural heritage. For many years, one of his main focus resides in Historical Sociology of the book, publishing, bookselling, reading and print culture and communication. On these subjects he has published extensively.
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. He is also engaged in exploring 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, and health professions, having two books published on these subjects, both co-authored.
