Lucila Mallart earned a PhD in Contemporary European History at the University of Nottingham (United Kingdom) in 2016. At the moment she is working as a Ramon y Cajal postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Humanities in Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. Her thesis analysed the contribution of architect, politician and art historian Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867-1956) to the construction of contemporary Catalan identity. Mallart is especially interested in the relationship between national identities and visual culture, urban development, design of exhibitions and historiography. Her research has been financed by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, the Catalan Institute of the Women, the DAAD (German Service of Academic Exchange), the Faculty of History of the University of Nottingham and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation (Germany). Recently she has carried out a research period at the University of Helsinki (Finland) and at the New Europe College of Bucharest (Romania) with the purpose of researching Josep Puig i Cadafalch's connections with Nordic and Romanian historians.
