Miguelángel Verde

As Senior Editorial Project Manager for the Global Advocacy team, Miguel shapes and leads the Legal Department’s advocacy communications for diverse audiences of external and internal stakeholders. He manages the editorial process for written products from concept development to sign-off, and works with the team and colleagues across multiple departments as well as Wikimedia affiliates, allies, and active volunteers. Miguel’s expertise comes from an academic and research career in global politics and international relations (Dr. rer. pol., Freie Universität Berlin), political philosophy and political science (MA, Kyoto University), and philosophy (BA, Universidad Católica Andrés Bello). His research mostly focuses on how contemporary information and communication technologies impact, limit, and empower the political and digital agency of civil societies at the global and local scale. Prior to the Foundation, Miguel has worked with policy think tanks, nonprofit organizations, and university research projects, published peer-review articles and book chapters, and edited collected volumes.
