DOLORES CUBELLS AGUILAR

Dolores Cubells Aguil is a PartTime Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, University of Valencia, specializing in Constitutional Law. She is affiliated with the DEM+ Research Group on Constituent Power and New Constitutionalism, focusing on intercultural jurisprudence and indigenous legal systems.

Her research bridges constitutional law with decolonial theory, examining how indigenous philosophies like Tseltal-Maya "O'tan" (heart justice) challenge Western human rights frameworks. She explores legal pluralism through Zapatista Councils of Good Government and Tseltal community norms.

Her publications analyze sacred water rights, pandemic misinformation governance, and the limitations of international instruments like ILO Convention 169. Her work spans from 2003 to 2023, with recent contributions on Maya normative systems (2023) and fake news regulation (2022).

Supervised by Dr. Emilia Bea Pérez in her 2016 PhD thesis on Chiapas indigenous justice, she actively contributes to decolonizing legal epistemologies and advocating for intercultural constitutionalism in Latin America.
