Research Interests: Feros studies political history, intellectual/cultural exchanges in early modern Europe, the historiography of Spanish colonization, and the intersection of literature and power. His work analyzes how race, nationhood, and empire shaped Spanish and Hispanic identity from the 15th to the 19th century.
Publications Trends: His articles and books critically examine topics like corruption in Habsburg Spain, the role of favorites (e.g., the Duke of Lerma), and the long-term impact of civil wars. Recent work includes a 2025 analysis of post-Civil War Spain and a 2017 study on race/nation debates. Collaborative projects like The Iberian World, 1450–1820 highlight transnational approaches.
Current Projects: Feros is writing a two-volume history of modern Spain (1939–1975), focusing on Franco’s dictatorship, Cold War dynamics, and democratic transitions. This work continues his exploration of Spain’s complex political and social evolution.
