Muñoz Rincón, Anamaría

Anamaría Muñoz Rincón is a PhD candidate at Sciences Po Law School, working under the supervision of Professor Helena Alviar García. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (2013), a Bachelor of Law (2015) and a Master in Constitutional Law from Universidad de los Andes (2019). In 2020, she obtained a Master in Science (MSc) in Human Rights from London School of Economics and Political Science. Before joining Sciences Po, Anamaría served as the Peace Strategy Group coordinator at the General Prosecutor’s Office in Colombia. She was also a lecturer at Universidad El Bosque in Colombia, where she taught undergraduate courses on constitutional law. 

Her PhD project broadly focuses on the procedural design of transitional tribunals, placing particular emphasis on the role of international law in shaping the possibilities (both legal and non-legal) that transitional settings offer. Her research draws on distributional analysis, TWAIL, and empirical research methods in law. At Sciences Po, she teaches courses on human rights, the right to truth and the intersection between international human rights law and new technologies. She is also part of the DIGILAW Clinique, where she currently works on a research project investigating the role of algorithmic surveillance in the criminal justice system.
