Thesis title: Distributive Injustice and the War on Drugs in Colombia and Mexico
Supervisors: Professor Garrett Wallace Brown, Dr Adrian Gallagher

Profile

I have international experience working in war and post-war contexts in Latin America, with a particular focus on human rights violations. I have worked for the United Nations (Political Mission in Colombia) for the peace process between the former guerrilla FARC-EP and the Colombian government. Additionally, I have collaborated in published reports for other international organisations in cases of grave human rights violations involving forced disappearances and torture, such as the Ayotzinapa case in Mexico.

Research interests

My professional and personal experiences incentivised me to pursue academic research on distributive justice with particular focus on the War on Drugs in Latin America.
