About
I was born in Oliva (Valencia), a small town in front of the Mediterranean sea, 8th of December of 1975. I am part of the first generation born in democracy after Franco dictatorship in the Spanish State and I started active politically inserted at the Catalan Global Resistance Movement (Barcelona). On 2002, I focus my activism in action research issues mainly though building online spaces and tools for the systematization of the knowledge generated in political mobilization processes.
Since 2006 I am conducting a Phd research at the Social and Political Science Department at the European University Institute (Florence). My thesis is on Online creation communities: Democratic quality in knowledge-making processes. My supervisor is Donatella Della Porta.
I am visiting the School of information – UC Berkeley until December 2008 sponsored by Coye Cheshire and Howard Rheingold.
I try to put into practice the reflections coming from my search through the creation of an Open E-library On Social Transformation, contributing to the Webteam of the European Social Forum and the World Social Forum, and impulsing the Networked-Politics.info project.
My academic formation is based on a Degree in Economics (Univ. of Valencia); Degree in Anthropology (Univ. Rovira i Virgili); Master in Politics of Cooperation and Development (Univ. Complutense of Madrid); Master in Urban Studies (Univ. Rovira i Virgili); Member of the social movements working group Institut de Govern i Poltiques Publiques (Univ. Automona de Barcelona).
My mother languages are Castillian and Catalan. I use fluently English and Italian. I understand Portuguese and French.
