I studied History and Education at the University of Zaragoza where I completed a PhD in Modern History (European Distinction) in 2014. My PhD dissertation traces the history of Spanish language teaching in England in the early 20th Century, exploring the correlation between British trade with Latin America, and the advocacy of Spanish language education in England. My doctoral research took me to carry out short research internships at the universities of London (LSE), Cambridge, Liverpool, Costa Rica and Ruhr (Germany). In 2014, I worked as a support worker for students with disabilities at University College London. Since I finished my PhD, I have been working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the universities of Concepción (Chile), Essex (UK) and the Basque Country (Spain). Some of my publications were awarded prizes, such as the Vivien Law Prize (2015) and the “Mary Nash” Prize for Spanish Youth Researchers in History (2012).
