Pablo Perez Castelló Visiting Fellow
Pablo P. Castello is a Visiting Fellow of the Animal Law and Policy Program at Harvard Law School. Castello has just completed his appointment as the 2022–2024 Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Animal Ethics at Queen’s University, where he studied the political status of domesticated animals and how to include them in political decision-making processes. As a fellow at Harvard, and drawing on his previous work at St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge, and at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law, he will identify strategic points of pressure to recognize wild animals’ fundamental legal rights and chart legal pathways to achieve this goal. Castello’s publication record includes several peer-reviewed articles in journals such as the American Political Science Review, Biological Conservation, Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, and the Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy as well as public media articles in outlets such as The Conversation and the Australian Broadcast Corporation.
