In this talk, Dr. Adriana Alfaro Altamirano (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México) will explore the role of narrative in adjudication. In particular, she focuses on the role of listening in judgment. What elements of listening are key for a fair judgment to be made? What is the connection between listening to stories and imagination, on the one hand, and between imagination and fairness, on the other? By delving into these questions, she draws some implications in terms of the contemporary discussion about the democratization of justice in Mexico.
