Work Experience: I am a historian specializing in the 20th century, who has focused his research on bilateral relations between Spain and the United States, specifically from the Second Republic to the end of the Franco regime. Within this period, I have focused my concern on the knowledge of the activity of the Dictatorship on US soil, especially on knowledge of the Spanish Lobby, cultural exchange programs and Public Diplomacy. All of this, without forgetting the role of the anti-Francoists, whether they were US citizens or Spanish exiles. To carry out this research, between 2017 and 2019 I made different trips to the national archives in London and Washington DC. In addition, in the United States I did a pre-doctoral research stay at George Washington University, being a Visiting Scholar for three months at the Elliott School of International Affairs in the summer of 2019. Later, after the pandemic and the completion of the Doctoral Thesis in April 2022 I am a Visiting Scholar at Georgetown University in Washington DC with the aim of deepening the open lines and starting new ones.

Why I chose Georgetown University: Georgetown University is a center of great prestige worldwide. This fact and the possession of its own very interesting archive for my research, made this university the perfect choice. In addition, it is made up of specialists of a high academic level, which allows me to deepen my research.
