Profile
Henrique is currently in the last stages of his PhD in criminal law and legal theory, working on the thesis ‘Responsibility in a Time of Terror’ after completing an LLM (Distinction) in Legal Theory also at King’s College London. He has a law degree from the Catholic University of Pernambuco (LLB) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Procedural Law and Legal Decision at the Federal University of Pernambuco (PgDip), in Brazil. His PhD was fully funded by the School of Law.

Research
Henrique’s academic and research interests are in legal theory, more specifically in the connections between law, philosophy, social and political theory, drawing on these parallels in order to understand better the function, limits, origins and practical consequences of legal concepts. His current research projects focus primarily on the socio-political dimension of criminal responsibility, investigating this legal concept from a socio-theoretical, dialectical perspective. His PhD examines the connections between criminal responsibility, citizenship, individualism and political authority.
