Gerard Pamplona MolinaI is doing his doctoral thesis at Pompeu Fabra University, where is also part of Grup d'Estudi de les Institucions i Societat a la Catalunya Moderna (segles XVI-XIX), and he teaches in the degrees of Humanities, Political Science, and Global Studies. Recently, he is a professor of Current World at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).

As part of the consolidated groups of research -GEISCAM & GEICP/SGR 2017- his line of research focuses on the creation of the modern state, war as a mechanism for the consolidation of state power, the strategies of social and political repression and coercion, and, finally, the strategies of assimilation and control by the states, with special attention on the case of Spain and the Crown of Aragon in the 18th century. In addition, he has also studied the Francoist concentration camps during the Spanish Civil War (Lleida: Pagès editors, 2022), and the emergence and consolidation of political Catalanism between the 19th century and today in Catalonia (València: Afers, 2021).
