HRT No. 4: Tackling poverty: the link between (in)equality and poverty

In this episode, we are diving a little into legal theory while also discussing the very real, very visible implications and effects of poverty. CHREN postdoctoral researcher Dr Tainá Garcia Maia is sharing insights from her interdisciplinary work at the intersection of (in)equality and poverty with a focus on the practice of Latin American apex courts. Tainá's research interests, furthermore, include democracy and autocratisation, inequality and social stratification, and human rights and technology. 

Tainá's book "Inequality and Poverty in Brazil: A Judicial Response to a Socio-Political Challenge" is going to be coming out this year. Stay tuned!
