Esteban Vallejo Toledo

PhD Student in Law ⅋ Society, University of Victoria

I am Esteban / 'stɛbən /,** a PhD student in Law ⅋ Society. I care about cities, communities, equality, and taxation. While my doctoral research explores the relation between taxation, urban development, and spatial inequality in global cities; my interdisciplinary approach is based on legal geography, legal pluralism, and comparative law. I work under the supervision of Profs. Bradley Bryan and Tamara Krawchenko, with support from my committee members (Profs. Kathryn Chan and Reuben Rose-Redwood) and great librarians (Emily Nickerson, Jessie Lampreau ⅋ Sarah Miller).

Thanks to many fortunate experiences as a researcher, lawyer, and mediator, I became familiar with areas that include taxation, tax law, land value capture, property taxes, Indigenous taxation, fiscal decentralization, fiscal federalism, municipal law, legal ethics, legal education, and legal history, as well as data collection and protection, official statistics, and research ethics.

**Please note that my name does not follow North American conventions. Thus, I am Esteban Vallejo Toledo / 'stɛbən və'dʒɛhɔ tɔ'lɛdɔ / Vallejo Toledo, Esteban. The colloquial form of my name is Esteban Vallejo.
