I held fellowships at: the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law (Germany, 2008 - Capes Fellow); the Center for Latin American Studies at American University in Washington, DC (USA, 2016-17 - Fapesp Fellow); the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom, 2019 - Fapesp Fellow).
In addition to publishing books and articles, I am a regular contributor to the press writing on legal topics of public interest.
I am currently investigating the private regulation of speech in the internet, and the clash between national standards of speech regulaton imposed by local laws (focused on the Brazilian case) and transnational corporate standards of speech regulation pushed by tech companies functioning on a global scale.
