Bio

I teach Portuguese and Lusophone literature and culture. Being strongly interested in Contemporary History, I give particular focus to the intellectual and cultural relations between Portugal, Spain and the ex-Iberian colonies. Aside from my doctoral thesis, titled “Iberism, Hispanism and their opposites: Portugal and Spain: 1908-1931”, I recently wrote articles such as: “Uma bandeira anti-iberista: o perigo espanhol”, Processos de nacionalización e identidades en la Península Ibérica, Coordinated by César Rina, Cáceres/Spain, Univ. de Estremadura, 2017, pp. 255-272; and “A Águia, Órgão da Renascença Portuguesa, Porto, 1912-1932”, Dicionário de Historiadores Portugueses (BN/Centro de História, FLUL), 2016.

As a fiction writer, I am also co-editor of Enfermaria Seis, which is both a literary website for young writers and a small publisher. I am the author of three books of fiction.
