PhD in Contemporary History from the University of Valencia (2012), he is a specialist in the Second Republic and the Civil War. He has worked on Spanish and Valencian socialism during the 1930s, especially on its organization, its internal conflicts and its relationships with democracy, with reformism –also educational– and with other political actors of the time. All this trying to highlight the power of the municipality as a “natural place” for actions of this type, and with an express comparative desire both with the rest of Spanish socialisms and with other European socialisms of the moment.
