Oñati is always a good idea. 
I recently had the privilege of returning to the International Institute for the Sociology of Law as a visiting scholar (November 10-14, 2025). This visit allowed me to immerse myself once again in their exceptional library, advancing both my PhD research and refining materials for my upcoming course, "Crimmigration and human rights: a cross-cutting perspective" at the Universidad Central de Venezuela's Specialization in Criminal and Criminological Sciences.
