Research

My postdoctoral research at CINTER, URJC (2023-2024) focuses on the private library of Don Juan José de Austria (1629-1679).

In January 2025, I will start a 6-month research project as Junior Fellow, funded by the Humboldt Centre of Excellence at the University of Bayreuth. The project focuses on Herman Conring’s foundation of legal history through his teaching, research library, and writings.

My postsdoctoral research at the Centre for Privacy Studies (2019-2023) focused on two cases in the seventeenth century:

Chatsworth and Hardwick Hall: their intellectual life around the private libraries and the early writings of Thomas Hobbes
The University of Helmstedt: private teachings at Professors’ houses and their libraries, in particular Hermann Conring’s courses and writings in political and legal thought

I am preparing a research project on early modern private libraries as sites of knowledge production and circulation.

My doctoral research at the European University Institute in Florence, focused on the French Revolution and Anacharsis Cloots’s writings as constituting a cosmopolitan variant in the republican tradition. It was published as a peer-reviewed monograph wining a prize-competition for Open Access by De Gruyter. I plan to continue this research on cosmopolitan republicanism in the Age of Revolution in the future.
