Biography

I read history, German language and literature, philosophy and political science at Heidelberg before completing a D.Phil. in history at the University of Oxford. I am a historian of late medieval and early modern political thought and culture with a focus on the early modern Iberian world. My research connects the histories of political thought and ethics, empire, violence, and early modern conceptualizations of the future. I work across the disciplines of history, political science, international law, and Hispanic studies.

Estudié historia, lengua y literatura alemana, filosofía y ciencias políticas en Heidelberg antes de obtener un doctorado en historia en la Universidad de Oxford. Soy historiador del pensamiento político de la alta Edad Media y de la Edad Moderna, con un enfoque en el mundo ibérico y católico. Mi investigación se centra en las historias del pensamiento político, imperio, violencia y las concepciones del futuro en la edad moderna. Trabajo en las disciplinas de historia, ciencias políticas, derecho internacional y estudios hispanos.
