Maria Florencia Gayraud
I am a DPhil candidate in Politics at the University of Oxford, supported by Balliol College and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). My research examines why Latin American high courts differ in the extent to which they rule with a gender perspective, combining comparative judicial politics, gender and law, and computational text analysis with in-depth case studies. More broadly, I am interested in how new legal ideas related to gender equality emerge, circulate, and become institutionalised in judicial reasoning across Latin America.

The Anti-stigma Principle and Legal Protection from Fattism - hybrid event
‘Fattism' has been described as the last acceptable prejudice. Discrimination on the grounds of weight is experienced regularly by women and men in relation to employment as well as access to goods and services. As I show in this article, it can also be seen as a form of intersectional discrimination. Yet a legal remedy for weight discrimination exists in just a few countries.

Is China Building a Rival International Order and How Would We Know?
Is China building a rival institutional order to challenge and potentially replace the existing one? In the decades following the Cold War, the United States played a leading role in creating the institutions of what became known as the liberal international order (LIO). Since then, China’s global profile has risen while the United States has reduced its commitment to global leadership. With growing evidence of a hegemonic transition, observers are increasingly debating whether Beijing is working to overturn the existing order by fostering rival institutional structures.
Beyond Rivalry: How Americans and Chinese View Global Justice
How do citizens in the United States and China evaluate the fairness of the international system and the impartiality of its legal institutions? As the two countries vie for global leadership, public perceptions of the existing order and visions for its reform can shape global trajectories by influencing support for or resistance to their governments’ efforts to reshape world order.
