My research centers on the history of early modern Iberian polities and their imperial rule across the Atlantic, with a particular focus on the period when Portugal was part of the Spanish Monarchy (1580-1640). I also delve into the political and administrative reforms of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A recent outcome of this research is the volume I co-edited with Nuno Gon\u00e7alo Monteiro titled \u2018Political Thought in Portugal and its Empire (1500-1800),\u2019 published by Cambridge University Press in 2021. My attention is also drawn to representative assemblies and political participation, especially in Portugal during 1579-80, where I analyze attempts by commoners to establish a political regime centered around the \u2018Cortes,\u2019 the Portuguese representative assembly. This research is forthcoming as \u201c\u00c9lites, repr\u00e9sentation et participation politique du \u00abpeuple\u00bb. Les Cortes et le d\u00e9bat sur l\u2019\u00e9lection du roi dans la crise de succession portugaise de 1578-1581.\u201d In addition, I explore Colonial Brazil, examining the legal and moral categories imposed by the Portuguese on Indigenous populations and their resistance, which I worked on in the piece \u201c\u2018La forma y casos en que los indios pueden ser cautivados en nuestras conquistas.\u2019 Dominaci\u00f3n colonial, cultura jurisdiccional y resistencia (c. 1550-1655).\u201d Lastly, I delve into the memory of the Portuguese empire and its colonial domination. My interest in this aspect is reflected in the study \u201cReassessing the Portuguese Imperial Past: Scholarly Perspectives and Civic Engagement,\u201d to be published in the \u2018Journal of Lusophone Studies.\u2019<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
