Esteban Vallejo Toledo

I am Esteban / 'stɛbən /,** a PhD student in Law and 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. 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.

I work under the supervision of Profs. Bradley Bryan and Tamara Krawchenko, with support from Profs. Kathryn Chan and Reuben Rose-Redwood. My work is possible thanks to great librarians: Emily Nickerson, Sarah Miller, Jessie Lampreau, Daniel Brendle-Moczuk, David Boudinot, Tina Bebbington, Pia Russell, Shahira Khair, Monique Grenier, Nick Rochlin as well as the librarians from the acquisitions, electronic resources and inter-library loan teams.

**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.
