Biography
Diego studied International Studies and Political Science (El Colegio de México) and graduated from an MSc in Development Studies (SOAS). After a few years working for international NGOs, he studied his PhD in the Department of European and International Studies at King's College London, which he has recently defended.
Diego’s doctoral research examined farmworkers’ movements and their power in export-oriented agriculture in north-west Mexico. Based on extensive fieldwork, his thesis analysed the formation of independent workers’ organisations in response to the transformations in horticultural production along global commodity chains.
