Giusto Amedeo Boccheni
Editorial Board - Founding Member
Giusto Amedeo pitched the idea for Just In Theory to highlight what links theoretical debates to political, social, and legal practices, and to foster confrontation on real-world problems within and without academia and across national and disciplinary boundaries.
At McGill Law's DCL program, he is studying to become a legal scholar in the fields of critical jurisprudence, governance of the commons, and comparative constitutionalism.
His current research project explores the conceptualization and possible applications of fiduciary sovereignty in the ecological and socio-political context of the Columbia and Mekong river basins.
Luisa Castaneda-Quintana
Editorial Board - Founding Member
A scholar, lawyer, and activist in the fields of Indigenous Peoples' law and legal anthropology, Luisa is the co-creator of Just In Theory.
She is a doctoral candidate at McGill Law and explores the reshaping of the Wiwa People’s identity in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, focusing on legal pluralism, extractive industries, and Indigenous Peoples' identity.
She analyzes how the Wiwa People's interactions with different normative orders in the context of extractivism have transformed their identity and forged various forms of resistance.
