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 languages and intellectual history of Modern Hispanic World and Latin America in comparative and global 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). I received numerous awards and fellowships, including a research grant ‹‹Bourse Aires culturelles›› and a graduate travel grant ‹‹Aide aux Colloques›› from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (2012), 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).
