Jorge Luengo is a Tenure-Track Professor of Modern History at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, where he also serves as the Rector’s Delegate for Teaching Quality and has previously coordinated the Master’s programme in World History. He obtained his PhD in History and Civilization from the European University Institute in Florence (Italy) and held a Humboldt Research Fellowship at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz (Germany).

His research focuses on modern Spanish history from a comparative, transnational, and global perspective, with a particular emphasis on the social and cultural history of politics and institutional frameworks. In addition, his work explores the intersection of sovereignty and the history of representative institutions in Spain and Latin America during the Age of Revolutions, with particular attention to the making of parliaments. On this topic, he has co-edited journal dossiers in the Jahrbuch für Geschichte Lateinamerikas and Parliaments, Estates & Representation together with Eduardo Posada-Carbó, Victor Uribe-Urán, and Laura Cucchi.
