Joaquín works at the intersection of law and philosophy. His recent research explores issues related to blame and punishment, the value of legal and moral right-holding, and the epistemic import of the criminal defendant’s testimony in the criminal process. In Argentina, Joaquín holds teaching appointments in legal theory and constitutional law at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and has served as a legal adviser both in the legal practice and at CIPPEC, a think tank focused on designing and implementing public policies.
Joaquín earned an MPhil in Law (with distinction) from the University of Oxford at Balliol College, and completed his LL.M. (with distinction) at LSE. He holds a law undergraduate degree from Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), and a Master in Criminal Law from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT).
