Ricardo Vega León is a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His research lies in the intersections of the history of political thought and political economy, the political theory of race and empire, and the transnational politics of slavery and abolition. His dissertation explores how the anti-slavery ideas of eighteenth and nineteenth century liberal political economists reproduced racial capitalism in the Atlantic World. With support from the Fund for Latino Scholarship, Ricardo will present a paper at the 2023 APSA Annual Meeting.
