What is your go-to website for news and analysis?
Do you have a writing routine?
It depends on the period, but here in Belgrade I am writting from 20:00 until midnight. That wasn't my routine in Spain becuase I wasnt used to write at night.
What was the worst advice you have been given?
I'm very prudent with my advices.
Have you ever been inspired by a student? If so, how?
My colleague Agustín Sánchez-Cotta inspired me a lot. Because of him I learned how to learn a methodologic tool to analyze discourses. It is essencial to read the philosophic basis of a method.
