‘Courts that Matter’ with Political Scientist Sandra Botero

In this episode of Global Stage, Sandra Botero (Universidad del Rosario) discusses her 2023 book, Courts that Matter: Activists, Judges, and the Politics of Rights Enforcement (Cambridge University Press). A former Kellogg Institute PhD Fellow and current visiting fellow, Botero describes how her background in legal studies and connections to the Kellogg Institute have influenced her research on judicial politics and collaborative oversight arenas. She also argues for the value of interdisciplinary research methods for tackling complex questions around judicial politics, polarization, and now in her current research on internet regulations and digital rights.
