I share what I see around the world in my reporting, in my books, and in the media outlets I contribute to — but also through talks and lectures. I enjoy giving them because they offer direct contact with people. I increasingly believe in this way of reaching people.

I am an adjunct professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), where I teach International Journalism. I have collaborated with or taught in the Master’s programs in International Journalism and in Journalism Reporting at Ramon Llull–Blanquerna University, the Master’s in International Reporting at RTVE, and the Journalism and International Relations undergraduate programs at the Miguel Hernández University and at Pompeu Fabra University, among others.

I was invited to the United States to give talks at several universities. At Princeton, I gave talks about rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea, borders, refugees and asylum. At Georgetown, I focused on rethinking the way we perceive migration and humanitarian aid. At Hood College, I presented ideas and stories that connect mental health, photography and refugees, among other activities.

I’ve traveled all over Spain — to high schools, civic centers, festivals… — to share my experience with a human touch. I explain what I’ve seen. I try to strike a balance between context and personal stories, often through photography. I’ve taken part in events and debates at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB): the war (or peace) in Ukraine, the future of Afghanistan, journalism, photography… I’ve given workshops and talks in Madrid, discussed silenced conflicts in Menorca, explained the 5W project in a TED talk format in Tenerife, spoken about sea rescues in Donostia, about war reporting —and the need to rethink it— in Badajoz, about humanitarian action in Santander, about covering migration alongside Open Arms… Even about India in Azpeitia, something I’d love to do more often. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most is visiting high schools. I’ve been several times to Granollers, where they have an outstanding program on migration.

Some of the countries I’ve spent the most time in: India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, Bangladesh, South Sudan, and Tunisia.

You can contact me if you’re interested in having me give talks, lectures, or take part in roundtables. I’m available if I feel I have something to share. I try to be honest and avoid topics I don’t feel prepared to address.
