On 26 November 2024, 12:30h - 13:30h CET, Prof. Alexandre Veronese (Law School of the University of Brasilia) will present his work-in-progress, entitled ‘An Empirical Research of the Data Protection Cultures and the National Authorities’ Role in Latin America’.
This LSTS talk will focus on Prof. Dr. Veronese and his team from University of Brasilia’s research on an analysis of Latin American cultural concepts of privacy and personal data protection, based on extensive fieldwork across nine countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay. The study employs a qualitative approach, comparing national statutes, literature, and documents on privacy and data protection, alongside primary data from interviews with local authorities, academics, and civil society. The findings highlight the interplay between global concepts and local narratives, illustrating how international frameworks are adapted to fit regional cultural contexts. This research provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of privacy and data protection in Latin America.
This event will be in a hybrid format (both on-campus and online). Interested participants wishing to take part can register by sending an email to Pablo.Rodrigo.Trigo.Kramcsak@vub.be.
