معرفی
Beltrán Roca serves as Professor of Sociology at the University of Cádiz, Spain, specializing in the spatial dimensions of labor activism within industrial contexts, particularly examining metalworkers' struggles in the Bay of Cádiz region.
His core research investigates how geographical landscapes shape and are reshaped by worker militancy, with key interests including:
- Labor Movements
- Spatial Sociology
- Trade Unionism
- Industrial Relations
- Economic Geography
- Social Movements
Roca's seminal work "City, Space and Trade Unionism: The Spatiality of Labour in the Metal Industry" (Bristol University Press, 2025) analyzes how Cádiz metalworkers employed radical spatial strategies against delocalization and precarity, demonstrating how labor conflicts transform urban environments. The book reframes workers as active producers of space through collective action, bridging labor studies with urban geography.
No scientific awards, student advisement records, grant funding details, or laboratory affiliations are documented in available sources. His research remains anchored in theoretical contributions to understanding place-based labor resistance without indication of institutional teams or collaborative research units.
