Some of his recent works focus on a singular court called "Tribunal de Contrafaccions" (early 18th century), the punishment that adulteress women received in Barcelona at the "Casa de les Egipcíaques" (15th-18th centuries), parliamentary dynamics (parliamentary committees) and institutional accountability.
