About Me

I hold a PhD in History from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). I am a Principal Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina (CONICET), based at the Institute of Argentine and Latin American History “Dr. Emilio Ravignani”, UBA/CONICET. Founder and coordinator of the Historical War Studies Group (GEHiGue) at that institute.

My current research focuses on the impact of the two World Wars in Argentina and the sociocultural aspects of the Falklands/Malvinas question, from the perspective of the social and cultural history of war.
