Research
Alejandro Ayala-Wold is an phd-candidate at the Department of Foreign Languages. He joined the department in august 2022 after obtaining a master’s degree from the University of Oslo, that placed emphasis on the Popular Party and Historical Memory in Spain between 2017 and 2018.
His research lies at the intersection of political communication, radical politics, borders, disinformation, communication, democratisation, and political history. Alejandro is highly interested in understanding how rightist parties uses historical memory to legitimate their political projects; how the radical-right polarizes european politics; ow ongoing worldwide crises have shifted the developmental attention away from Latin-America; and how natural resource extraction affects small-scale municipalities on the Dominican Republic.
His doctoral project consists of analyzing political discourses/social media posts in the period 2017-2023 made by the conservative Popular Party and radical-right party Vox, with the objective to establish and compare the polarizing tenets in their memory discourse, and how this has contributed to competetive radicalization, and intensification of political polarisation.
