José Pedro Monteiro

José Pedro Monteiro is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra. He holds a PhD in History from the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon (2017) and has developed his scholarly research in the fields of the history of empires and imperialism, as well as international and transnational history. Exploring the historical intersections between different manifestations of internationalism and diverse imperial projects, his research has focused particularly on the domains of citizenship, both as a political and as a social category.

These research interests have resulted in numerous scholarly publications in national and international presses and journals, among which particular note should be made of his monograph The Internationalisation of the “Native Labour” Question in Portuguese Late Colonialism (1945–1962), published by Palgrave Macmillan. He coordinated the project Humanity Internationalised: Cases, Dynamics and Comparisons (1945–1980), funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (Ref. PTDC/HAR-HIS/6257/2020). He is also the coordinator of the research strand “Empires, Colonialism and Post-Colonialism” at the Centre for the History of Society and Culture (CHSC).
