PhD Hispanic Languages and Literatures. SUNY Stony Brook. 2014.

Teaching Spanish at Fordham since 2010. Besides teaching, my research focuses on the intersection of politics and culture in Contemporary Spain. My research interests include Cultural Studies, Social movements; Populism; Municipalism; Political and Social Documentary and Film, among other topics. My academic research has been published in the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, boundary2 and other publications and collective books.

Beyond academia, I write frequently in the press about US and Spain’s culture and politics on both sides of the Atlantic. My writings have appeared at Public Books, Jacobin, and In These Times, among other outlets in the US, and at CTXT and El Salto in Spain. I have collaborated with academic spaces like NYU’s Urban Democracy Lab (where I was Visiting Scholar in 2020/21), and with institutions such as Rosa-Luxemburg Stiftung-NYC Office and Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung-NYC Office. I am a member of the Instituto de Estudios Culturales y Cambio Social and Minim Municipalist Observatory.

I am currently finishing a book manuscript on how the crises, movements and new political formations in Spain within the last decade (2008-2020) have changed the political culture of Spanish Democracy. Among my latest projects is my collaboration with Spanish independent publisher Traficantes de Sueños in the edition of the first Spanish translation of Stuart Hall´s et al. Policing the Crisis. Mugging, the State and Law and Order (1978) published as Gobernar la crisis. Los atracos, el Estado y la «ley y el orden» (2024).
