Curriculum Vitae
Arturo Zoffmann Rodriguez
In July 2021, Zoffmann Rodriguez joined the Instute of Contemporary History (IHC) of the New University of Lisbon, wih a CEEC-FCT
research contract. In Lisbon, he works on a project on far-right trade unionism in early-twentieth century Southern Europe,
which excavates the complex and understudied engagement of early fascist and proto-fascist groups with organized labour from
a comparative perspective. This line of inquiry sheds light on broader themes such as the modernization of right-wing parties
at the turn of the century, the emergence of mass politics, the formation of working-class identity, and trade union conflict.
After carrying out his first archival missions, he is preparing a number of articles on these topics. The first one has already
appeared at the prestigious International Review of Social History (2021). Before moving to the IHC, he completed a fully
funded post-doctoral research fellowship (2020-21) at the Institute of Historical Research at Mexico City's National Autonomous
University of Mexico (UNAM), one of the best universities in Latin America. His post-doctoral project explored the transnational
entanglements between the Mexican and the Russian Revolutions. This project resulted in five journal articles. In June
2019, Zoffmann Rodriguez obtained a PhD at the European University Institute in Florence. His thesis, The Spanish Anarchists
and the Russian Revolution, 1917-24, explored how the Soviet revolutionary model was transmitted across borders and conjugated
with local conditions and discourses. He thus moved away from national interpretations of the Russian Revolution, filling
an important gap in the historiography. His doctoral research built on his MPhil dissertation (awarded with Distinction) in
Modern European History, completed at the University of Oxford in 2013-15. Previously, he completed a BA degree in History
awarded with First Class Honours at University College London. Zoffmann Rodriguez has published prolifically on topics
related to his doctoral and post-doctoral projects and beyond for eminent peer-reviewed journals, such as Contemporary European
History, Revolutionary Russia, European History Quarterly, and International Labor and Working-Class History. He has also
penned three book chapters and several book reviews. His fluency in eight languages (Spanish, Catalan, English, Russian, Greek,
Italian, French, Portuguese, plus basic German and Turkish), as well as robust financial support from various institutions,
has allowed him to pursue ambitious research in archives in Spain, Russia, Mexico, the Netherlands, France, the UK, the US,
and Italy. Zoffmann Rodriguez has disseminated his research at various conferences and workshops in numerous countries.
In 2017, he organised a highly successful international conference at the EUI, The Peripheries of the European Revolutionary
Process(es), 1917-23, funded with an endowment of almost 10,000 euros. In July 2019, he organised an international workshop
at the EUI, Communicating Community: Anarchism and its Boundaries. In November 2021, he organized an in-person international
conference at the IHC, National Liberation, World Revolution: Anti-Colonialism and the Origins of Communism. Zoffmann Rodriguez
has worked as a lecturer at the Colegio de Mexico (2021), one of the best higher education institutions in Latin America,
and the University of Barcelona (2018-19), teaching Russian and Soviet history in both universities. He has also delivered
one-off lectures at institutions such as the Universities of Padova, Turin, and Panteion. He thus has extensive experience
as a pedagogue and a communicator. He has also strived to disseminate his findings among non-academic audiences, and has delivered
lectures at museums, bookshops, high schools, and trade unions. These experiences have endowed him with valuable organisational,
administrative, income-generation, and public outreach skills.
