Biography

Peter Morgan is an intellectual historian specializing in the history of anticolonial thought in the eighteenth century, with a particular focus on the Hispanic world and Ireland. His doctoral thesis is entitled 'Empire and International Order: Spanish American Political Thought in the Age of Revolutions, c. 1808-1830'. His research encompasses themes of intellectual history and anticolonial thinking, particularly in the contexts of the crisis of sovereignty of the Spanish Monarchy and the wars of independence in Spanish America. He maintains a focused research interest in the political and political-economic thought of Peruvian José Carlos Mariátegui (1894-1930). Currently, he is engaged as a postdoctoral research associate on a project exploring the role of Ireland in the context of the 'ends' of the British Empire from c. 1886 to the present.
