About

I am a Ph.D. student in History and Civilization at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, particularly interested in the political and intellectual history of Modern Latin America in comparative and world contexts. My dissertation, codirected by Frédérique Langue (CNRS/EHESS) and Jeremy Adelman (Princeton University), explores the dissolution of the Spanish Empire and will be an history of republicanism, one that traces its deeper colonial origins through the upheavals of the 1780s and 1800s, all the way to the assertion of independence in the Age of Atlantic Revolutions.

I spent spring of 2012 as Visiting Research Fellow at Brown University (José Amor y Vázquez & Norman Fiering Fellow at the John Carter Brown Library). Currently, I participate in the research project intituled "Unstable Narratives of the Sovereign Body from the Age of the Enlightenment to World War I" (coordinated by Isabel diVanna, University of Cambridge).

I received numerous awards and fellowships, including a research grant ‹‹Bourse Aires culturelles›› from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (2013), a John Carter Brown Library Fellowship (2012), two research grants from the Centre de Recherches sur les Mondes Américains (2011/2012), a Doctoral Scholarship from The National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research of Chile (2010-2013), a Graduate Scholarship from the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research of Chile (2007-2008) and the Simon Collier Prize from the Department of History of the University Notre Dame and the Institute of History UC (2003).

I was a Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Institute of History at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. I worked as a researcher at the National Library of Chile for the Ibero-American project "The Political Press of Latin American in Nineteenth-Century", historical researcher in a television documentary serie "Frutos del País" and as a freelance editor in Aguilar Chilena de Ediciones publishing company. I have published articles and reviews about Iberian and Latin American history in books and peer-reviewed journals (Revista de Indias, Nuevo Mundo Mundos Nuevos, HIB. Revista de Historia Iberoamericana, Atenea, Politeia). In addition to academic publications, I contribute as editor and columnist to Ciudad de las Ideas and non-regularly with Centro de Investigación e Información Periodística (CIPER).
