Nayeli Urquiza Haas

About

Nayeli’s work contests traditional concepts and practices in criminal law through an interdisciplinary analysis of vulnerability and gender. In her doctoral work, which examines the case  of women who act as drug mules and have been sentenced for drug importation offences in England and Wales, she drew on feminist theory to argue that vulnerability is not always a straightforward foundation for justice because legal and political institutions recognize vulnerability only as something exceptional, and thus, opposite to legal personhood.
