Personal profile
Personal profile
I have been a Professor of Legal Theory and Criminal Law at the Faculty of Law, Universidad Central de Chile, since 2020. I trained as a lawyer at the Universidad de Chile, completed a Master’s degree in Criminal Law at Universidad Pompeu Fabra, and earned my PhD in Law at the University of Glasgow, where I researched judicial review of constitutionality under the supervision of Emilios Christodoulidis and George Pavlakos. I have served as principal investigator of a research project on constituent power, through which I examined in greater depth the relationships between law, politics, and normativity. My work seeks to rethink classical problems in legal theory, normativity, and constitutionalism from a pragmatist perspective, particularly through the philosophy of Robert Brandom, understood as a framework for analyzing the relations between law and social and communicative practices. I have published in some of the most recognized international academic journals, including Modern Law Review, Law and Philosophy, and Jurisprudence.
