I am a political theorist whose work focuses on questions about emotions, language, and narrative in the public sphere. My research partakes in the methods and interests of continental philosophy, legal studies, critical theory, and literary criticism, and has also explored some connections between those traditions and Latin America’s political thought and legal practice.

My first book, The Belief in Intuition: Individuality and Authority in Henri Bergson and Max Scheler, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Currently, I am working on two lines of research. The first one examines different ways in which adjudication (especially in criminal law) fosters structural oppression in present societies—namely, by participating in epistemically unjust practices; by misrepresenting or hampering the agency of defendants and offenders; and by indulging in factious behavior. The second research track reflects on the role of narrative in the public sphere, with special attention to questions about identities and technology. There, I am interested in exploring the ways in which narrative speaks to our fundamentally temporal nature and bridges the artificial gap between reasons and emotions that dominates many areas of our contemporary public sphere.

My work has been published in Political Theory, the Journal of Social Philosophy, The Review of Politics, Contemporary Political Theory, History of European Ideas, the Journal for French and Francophone Philosophy, and the International Journal of Law in Context.

I teach political theory at ITAM, where I obtained a B.S. in political science in 2007. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Harvard University in 2017. I was the inaugural Civil Discourse Fellow-in-Residence (2024-2025) and a graduate fellow (2025-2016) at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics (2024-2025). During my graduate studies, I was affiliated as well to the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. My work has been supported by CONACYT and by the Harvard University Mexican Students Association.

Before starting my graduate studies, I worked at the Mexican Supreme Court doing research on topics of contemporary political theory and legal studies.
