Pablo Calderon-Martinez

I am a Lecturer in Spanish at Aston University. My research focuses primarily on Spanish and Latin American (particularly Mexican) politics and social movements. Before moving to Aston, I was a Teaching Fellow in Spanish and European Studies at the Department of European and International Studies of King’s College London; I have also held academic positions in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London and in the Politics and International Relations section at the New College of the Humanities.

I completed a PhD in Spanish and Mexican Politics at King’s College London in 2014, and I also hold an MSc in European Identities from the London School of Economics, and a BA in International Relations from ITESO University. Pablo has also held research positions at the Center for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences at the Juan March Institute in Madrid, and at the Department of International Relations at ITESO University. He has presented his research internationally, and has commented on Spanish, Latin American and European politics for the BBC, BBC World, CNBC, CNN, Canadian Television, The Independent, Monocle Radio, Voice of Russia, Share Radio and many other media outlets.
