•	Industrial history of low-budget subgenres of Spanish cinema emerging at the end of the Franco dictatorship and continuing until the re-imposition of censorship in 1982, at which point this cinema was driven underground, largely disappearing by 1984. This study will be based on unpublished personal archives, trade press data, popular press reviews, and interviews with surviving exponents of the exploitation subgenres.  Extensive accompanying graphic materials will be published with the cooperation of the Filmoteca Española-Madrid.

	From Civil War to Cold War: The Generalissimo and the Soviet Union, 1939-1975
•	Extension of earlier-published book on Soviet-Spanish relations during the period of the civil war, this project will examine the evolution of Franco’s position towards the Soviet Union under Stalin and his successor’s, down to the Spanish dictator’s death in 1975.
