Francisco Colom González is a Research Professor at the Institute of Philosophy of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). He obtained his Doctorate in Philosophy from the Complutense University and a Diploma in Political Science and Constitutional Law from the Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies in Madrid. He also completed postgraduate studies at the Free University of Berlin and postdoctoral studies at McGill University (Montreal, Canada). Previously he was a tenured professor of sociology at the Public University of Navarre. He has also been a visiting researcher and professor at various Latin American, European and North American universities. Between 2000 and 2005 he was president of the Ibero-American Association of Political Philosophy and from 2004 to 2012 president of the Spanish Association of Canadian Studies. Likewise, between 1998 and 2006 he was Deputy Director of the Institute of Philosophy of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
His research has focused mainly on the relationship between culture, collective identities and social change and the normative conflicts that result. From this perspective he has analysed the political management of cultural diversity, as well as the historical dynamics of nationalism and religious affiliations. In recent years he has added a spatial twist to this type of analysis, focusing on the materialisation of such issues in urban contexts.
His latest project, co-directed with Ana López Sala (IEGD-CSIC), is entitled The Just City. Exclusion, Belonging and the Commons. An Urban Approach to the Theory of Justice (URBS). His latest book on this subject is entitled Urban Justice. Debating Spatial Exclusion, Common Goods and the Built Environment (Springer, 2024).
