Edward Jones Corredera

Historian. Documentarian. Consultant. Writer. 

I am an Assistant Professor of History at the UNED.

​

I was born and raised in Madrid, studied politics at the LSE, worked as a speechwriter in the House of Lords, and worked as the editor of a startup in Shanghai.

 

I completed my PhD in history at the University of Cambridge and took up a postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg.

​

I have co-edited and appeared in a number of historical documentaries for TVE2 and a series of radio shows for Radio 3.  I am a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Society of Arts. You can read more about my books below.

 

I am currently working on a number of books on the history of international law, including one on pardons, amnesties, and the political history of forgiveness.

​

Will post more about my work on this site in the coming months - stay tuned.
