I'm Heitor Pagliaro, a professor of Philosophy of Law at the Federal University of Goias (UFG) in Brazil, where I am the Director of the PhD Program in Human Rights.
My scientific research is concentrated in the fields of Political Philosophy and Legal Philosophy, where I am actively involved in teaching, publishing scholarly work, and supervising students across various levels, including postdocs, PhD candidates, MA students, and undergraduates.
