Master in Contemporary History (Basque Country University, 2009) and PhD in Political Sciences, with International Mention (University of Santiago de Compostela, 2016).

I have written several articles in national and international scientific journals and presented papers in several conferences. The main topics in which I have focused have been historiography, contemporary history, political theory history, oral history, and anthropology.I havepublishedtwobooks “Los resistentes, relato socialista sobre la violencia de ETA, 1984-2011” (2017) and “Emociones obreras, política socialista.
