Publications and Glossary
Writing and publishing connects me with other lawyers and academics, optimizing my own ideas and research. It is an area that I enjoy immensely and I hope that these contributions are of use and interest to others to promote their own initiatives.
Scientific autonomy is an essential assumption of collaboration and exchange with researchers from various fields of knowledge, it allows self-assessment and external, public and plural evaluation.
Conferences
In the seminars, conferences, workshops and classes that I teach, I communicate the proposals, advances and results of my lines of research and, in this way, I comply with the discipline of submitting my ideas to the orality test before turning them into writing.
As an expository lecturer I have participated in more than 60 academic activities aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers and researchers in Legal and Social Sciences in Argentina, Spain and Mexico.


Roles
Over the past 20 years, my academic and law practice in public service, along with my background in private law practice, have taught me to think systematically, methodologically, and strategically.
This experience allows me to reflect, imagine, connect and direct research and decision efforts, both theoretically and practically, in order to develop the fundamental rights of citizenship and the democratic and republican values of the constitutional State of law.
