Guillermo S. Hava

Originally from Andalucia, southern Spain, Guillermo S. Hava graduated Cum Laude with High Honors from Harvard College in 2024 with a joint concentration in Government and Philosophy. At Harvard, Guillermo was the recipient of the Saloma Fund Grant for Undergraduate Research, and conducted field research in Bogotá for his magna cum laude senior thesis, supervised by Professor Steve R. Levitsky, on forbearance and collective organizing among informal street vendors in the Colombian capital. Outside of the classroom, Guillermo served as Editorial Chair and columnist for The Harvard Crimson, helping the board secure the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award for best Editorials in 2022, and becoming an Associate Collegiate Press finalist for best column writing himself for his reported opinion features on university donors ranging from the Sackler family to Ronnie and Gerald Chan.

After graduating from Harvard, Guillermo completed an MSc in Comparative Politics and Democracy at University College London, again conducting field research on those trapped in precariously extralegal situations through interviews with potential beneficiaries of Spain’s 2026 mass regularization of unauthorized migrants.

In his free time, Guillermo fosters puppies (seriously, and unfortunately for his furniture), closely follows American and Spanish politics, reads voraciously if never sufficiently, and supports Football Club Barcelona. He is interested in the relationship between the modern legal state and those who build lives beyond it, current approaches to antitrust regulation, and international tax law’s implications for inequality.
