Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

Carlos is current involved in a collective project entitled The Rise of the Republic of Letters, together with colleagues from the Universities of Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), Complutense (Madrid), Salamanca, Oxford, Queen Mary (London), Columbia, Lyon and Georgetown. His individual contribution to this research cluster is The Antisemitic Myth of the Jewish Puppetteer, as study of the origins of the Antisemitic trope of the Jewish government in the shadows of power.
