Political decisions about what governments collect, publish and use can shape more than statistics. Sebastián León-Giraldo argues that public knowledge is part of democratic infrastructure. When states make some populations harder to see, they can also weaken the evidence used to identify inequality and hold power accountable
Research Associate, School of Government, Universidad de los Andes, Colombia / Researcher, Liga de Salud Trans, Colombia
Sebastián's research examines the intersections of democracy, public policy, inequality, human rights, and data governance, with particular attention to how institutions and data systems shape recognition, representation, and access to rights.
His work spans mental health inequalities in conflict-affected territories, health systems, gender identity in civil registration and public information systems, and the democratic implications of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
He has published in journals including World Development Perspectives, Health and Human Rights Journal, International Journal for Equity in Health, and Global Policy.
