Project Title: Gendering Jurisprudence: What explains variation in the extent to which Latin American courts rule with a gender perspective?
My research explores what explains cross-national variation in the extent to which Latin American high courts rule with a gender perspective. Combining NLP-based classification of court judgments with statistical modelling and targeted case studies, I examine how feminist legal ideas diffuse and how institutional features enable uptake. Building on my prior work creating gender-focused judicial databases, the project delivers reproducible datasets and evidence to support mainstreaming gender in adjudication.
I am a political scientist from Argentina specializing in justice, gender, and data across Latin America. In recent years, I worked as a Senior Analyst at Fundar, conducting research on the digital transformation and efficiency of Argentina’s judiciary; coordinated the COLAB/DIGES effort to design and manage gender-focused court-ruling databases; and taught theory-to-practice several courses at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. I have collaborated on research projects with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Nuffield College (University of Oxford), and the Pulte Institute (University of Notre Dame). I am currently co-authoring studies on how high courts incorporate gender perspectives in their decisions and on frameworks to classify judicial innovation in gender jurisprudence. I have knowledge in various software programs, methods and statistics.
