Professor of Philosophy of Law

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.

I hold a PhD in Philosophy of Law from the University of Brasilia (UnB), Brazil, along with an MA in Ethics and Political Philosophy from UFG, and a BA in Law from UFG.

As a licensed attorney in Brazil (OAB/GO 32.571) and Portugal (OA 67768L), I served as Vice President of the Human Rights Commission of the Brazilian Bar Association – Goias Chapter (2022–2024) and as a member of the State Council on Human Rights, Racial Equality, and Anti-Discrimination of Goias (2022-2024), both in Brazil. 

I've been a visiting scholar at the Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin (2024), and at the Department of Law, Politics, and Development at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, Italy (2024).

I maintain this website to share my work and make my research accessible to a wider audience.

I am always open to exploring new opportunities and engaging in meaningful exchanges within our shared fields of interest.
