Ph.D. in History from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Professor of History of Social Movements at the University of A Coruña.

He was a guest lecturer at the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. He gave lectures at universities in the United States, Mexico, France, Sweden, Greece, and Portugal; and presented papers at conferences in these countries and in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Holland, the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Romania, Argentina, and Israel. His research stays in foreign centers amounted to 17 months.

In terms of research activity, he opted for a line of work that would make it possible to assess the impact of the construction of the market system and the modern state on local life throughout the 18th-20th century. This has required the formulation, from an interdisciplinary perspective, of a wide-ranging project ranging from the agrarian history that she began in the 1990s to the field of urban history on which she has been working ever since. This research work has been awarded on several occasions: in particular the "Premio Xunta de Galicia 1993" for the best article in Social Sciences; and the "H.J. Dyos Prize in Urban History 2005", awarded by the Centre for Urban History (United Kingdom). The CNEAI has awarded him 4 Sexenios de Investigación. As PI, he has been in charge of 7 R&D projects in competitive calls. He is currently coordinating the project "Violencia colectiva y protesta popular en las ciudades españolas: la Guerra de la Independencia" (Collective violence and popular protest in Spanish cities: the War of Independence), funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
