Ruth Rubio-Marín is Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Sevilla, adjunct Professor at the School of Transnational Governance of the European University Institute, Florence and Director of the UNIA UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Interculturalism.  Between 2008-2016 she held the chair in public comparative law at the European University Institute. She has taught in many other prestigious academic institutions including NYU (where since 2003 she is invited as Global Professor), Columbia Law School and Princeton University where she was part of the first cohort of fellows in the Law and Public Affairs Program. Her research, focused on comparative constitutionalism, law and gender, immigration and citizenship, as well as transitional justice, represents an attempt to understand how public law creates categories of inclusion and exclusion around different axis including gender, citizenship, nationality and ethnicity. Her human rights activism centers on combating conflict related sexual violence and providing reparations for survivors. She sits in the board of the Global Survivors Fund.
