I am currently researching on the uses of classical scholarship in European overseas expansion and how this practice of historical comparison provided a series of intellectual foundations for “negotiating” between European and extra-European cultures. EmpireClassics focuses on the influence of ancient Greek and Roman culture on written and visual representations of the new overseas realities on three different levels: anthropological, narrative/rhetorical, and historical.
I have previously worked on the history of European political thought, in particular in the reception and reading(s) of Tacitus in Early Modern Spain, France and England.
I am also interested in the contemporary uses of historical knowledge, the practices of memory, public history, digital humanities and the teaching of history. I am member of Contratiempo, historia y memoria, an association devoted to promote and democratize historical knowledge.
I have taught courses on Early Modern Spanish History (UAM-UNL), the History of Corruption (UNL) and on the History of Books and Reading (UNL)
