About me
I am a political scientist and sociologist, currently working as an associate professor at the University of Guayaquil. I am also a member of the Centre européen de sociologie et de science politique (CESSP) in Paris. I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon–Sorbonne, where I studied the long–term evolution of judicial institutions in Ecuador.
My current research focuses on processes of institutional reform and the shifting boundaries between political and judicial systems. I am particularly interested in how institutions adapt (or resist change), how rules are made and remade, and how legal categories are shaped by political struggles. I explore these themes through the lens of judicial politics and state transformation. Ultimately, I aim to develop analytical frameworks for a sociology of the state in Latin America.
I have published academic works on these topics and I am currently writing a book on the judicial protection of rights in Ecuador. Over the years I have taught a range of courses in political science and sociology, from research methods to comparative politics. I have also led a specialization in politics and data analysis and held roles in academic research management and editorial work.
