Duncan Alastair Simpson
Duncan Simpson gained his BA in European Studies at the London School of Economics, and his MA an PhD (2011) in Portuguese Studies at King’s College London. His doctoral thesis, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, focused on the relations between the Catholic Church and the Salazarist New State between 1928 and 1968.

As FCT Research Fellow at the ICS, he is currently working on “Public letter-writing in Salazar’s Portugal (1933-1974)” (2021.02904.CEECIND/CP1696/CT0007).
