I write analysis and opinion on current political, social and cultural issues, drawing on my background in the social sciences and humanities and on an international and comparative perspective.
My first article in El País appeared in 2011. Since 2015, my work has appeared regularly in its Opinion pages as well as in the supplements Ideas and Babelia. During the 2019 Spanish general election campaign, I contributed an almost daily column to the newspaper’s national news section.
I currently contribute regularly to Mexican magazine Proceso and have also written for Argentinian daily Clarín. My articles have also appeared in El Huffington Post, El Correo and Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, among other publications.
Alongside my written work, I contribute to radio and television programmes as an analyst and commentator, discussing political, social and cultural affairs. I have appeared on Spanish-language broadcasters including RTVE, Cadena SER, Onda Cero and Canal Sur Radio, and I also provide background and expert interviews to journalists and news organisations.
I welcome commissions and collaborations involving analysis and opinion articles, essays, book chapters, media contributions, research and expert commentary. Please feel free to contact me to discuss a proposal.
All my articles are eventually published on my blog, but you may find an updated record of articles in El País here: https://elpais.com/autor/olivia-munoz-rojas/
