Curriculum Vitae
Ubaldo Iaccarino (雅保多), PhD, is a historian of Early-Modern Philippine History.
His field of expertise is Premodern East Asian and Southeast Asian Maritime History, with a focus on cross-cultural trade and diplomacy. His research interests lie primarily in the Spanish and Italian presence in Asia and the Sino-Japanese networks in Mainland and Island Southeast Asia (16th-18th centuries).
Iaccarino is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Asian, African and Mediterranean Studies, where he teaches “History of South-East Asia,” “Cross-Culturality and Transnational Networks in Premodern Southeast Asia,” and "History of the China Seas." Before joining the Faculty at UNIOR, he worked at the Institute of Taiwan History (臺灣史研究所) of Academia Sinica (中央研究院) (2019-2020) and the Research Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (科技部人文社會科學研究中心) of National Taiwan University (國立臺灣大學) (2021-2022).
During the past years, after earning his Doctorate in History from Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona, Spain), Iaccarino has written and published several articles, essays, book chapters, and conference papers regarding the history of maritime East Asia and South-East Asia in the Early Modern period (https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4813-0544). In 2017 he published a monograph entitled, Comercio y diplomacia entre Japón y Filipinas en la era Keichō (1596-1615) (Harrassowitz Verlag), concerning the Hispano-Japanese commercial and diplomatic relations of the early seventeenth century in comparative and transnational perspective.
