About Me

I am an Associate Professor and researcher specialising in the social and legal history of Basque and Spanish societies from the medieval to the early modern periods. I hold two PhDs, one in History and one in Law. My research focuses on women, kinship, divorce and dowries, paying particular attention to how legal frameworks shaped social relations and everyday life. I am the author of four monographs, three of which are individual and one of which is collective, and I have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. I have presented my research at national and international conferences. Through my research and teaching, I contribute to interdisciplinary debates on gender, family and law from a historical perspective.
