On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Rubén Marciel Pariente (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) will participate in the 90th session of the TDJ workshop to present the paper: "Justificación moral e inviabilidad constitucional del derecho ciudadano a la información".

I have a degree in Philosophy from the University of Valladolid. I completed a Master's in Teacher Training for Secondary Education (specializing in Philosophy) at the UNED and a Master's in Political Philosophy at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where I later conducted my doctoral research (on the citizenship's right to be well informed) as an FPU fellow in the Law & Philosophy group. During my doctorate (2019), I was a visiting researcher at the Normative Orders center of Goethe University Frankfurt. Subsequently (2022-2024), I have been an associate professor and substitute professor in the philosophy department at the University of Barcelona. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher, again, in the Law & Philosophy group at UPF, where I am undertaking a project on republican theory, deliberation, and media. As part of this project, during the spring of 2024 (March-April), I will conduct a research stay at the Hoover Chair of Economic and Social Ethics (Catholic University of Leuven). My research focuses on the intersection between political philosophy, democratic theory, and freedom of expression, and is mainly motivated (though not only) by the aspiration to find effective solutions against misinformation. I have published in Teorema, Dilemata, Isegoría, Journal of Political Philosophy, and Journal of Applied Philosophy.
