His research and publications have focused, above all, on the integration of the Portuguese and Spanish empires within the framework of the Catholic Monarchy (1580-1640), namely on the way in which Portugal and Castile dealt with problems such as indigenous rights, violence, religious differences and resistance dynamics in their colonization processes, and also in the way they influenced the construction and dissemination of black Iberian legends in modern Europe. In his approaches, he always seeks a global, connected and compared perspective.
