Francisco Jiménez Aguilar
I am a lecturer in History of Science at the University of Málaga, Spain. I hold a BA in History, a MA in the History of Europe and the Americas, a MA in Culture of Peace, Conflict, Education and Human Rights, a MA in Teacher Training, and an international PhD in History and Arts from the University of Granada. My thesis dissertation “Masculinities in the early Franco era (1936–1959): discourses and subjectivities” sought to represent different types of masculinity and the various ways in which Spaniards embodied them during the early decades of Franco Spain.
Throughout my career, I have worked as a secondary teacher in Andalusia, as a project researcher in the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Granada, as a Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Contemporary History at the University of the Basque Country, and as a CIAPOS researcher at the University Institute for Gender Studies Research at the University of Alicante. I was algo visiting fellow at the Department of Modern and Contemporary History at the Complutense University of Madrid and the Department of History at the University of Sheffield, UK. Throughout this time, I have participated in international conferences and workshops in Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Colombia, Spain, France, Morocco, the Netherlands, Portugal and the UK.
My research has focused on gender history in 20th- and 21st-century Spain, with a particular interest in masculinities under Franco’s regime and during the democratic era, the involvement of Spanish women in fascism, social policies and everyday life. Recently, I have been working on past changes in parenting, domestic work, and male emotional management. In parallel, I have also taken an interest in new far-right parties, social movements and intellectuals, addressing issues such as anti-feminism, sexism and ultra-nationalism.
