Research

My main research interest remains in the field of labour law and regional integration, with a special focus on the EU and Latin American integration projects such as Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance.

My future research is to build on the foundations of my PhD and to investigate and compare the roles of fundamental labour rights in the EU with their Latin American counterparts, particularly in Mercosur. It also explores how neoliberal policies in the 21st century have shaped labor laws in South America. My future research also seeks to focus on labour regulations and the Global South, with particular focus on the impact of digital platforms and automation.
