Pedro Nicoli is Associate Professor of Labour Law at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil, where he also serves as Head of the Labour Law Department and coordinates Diverso UFMG, a legal center focused on gender and sexual diversity. His research examines the intersections between labour law, social inequalities, and critical legal theory, with a sustained focus on how legal frameworks address—and often reproduce—hierarchies structured along lines of gender, race, and colonial history. Nicoli’s work engages directly with the juridification of care, drawing primarily on experiences developed in Latin America. His research approaches care as a relational practice through which life is sustained, but also as a site of asymmetrical distribution shaped by the region's specific histories and social configurations. As a member of the Advisory Board of the Revaluing Care in the Global Economy project, his contribution is grounded in research on domestic work, LGBTQIA+ aging, and the legal construction of care as a right in the Inter-American human rights system. His publications include work on queer care, the decolonization of labour law, and the legal dimensions of care during the pandemic. His international experience includes a visiting professorship at the Université de Nantes (France) and research stays at the Collège de France, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and as a Visiting Scholar at Duke University's Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies. He is also a founding member of the transnational Who Cares? Care, Rights and Inequalities project and of the Cuidde Network, collaborations that bring together researchers from Latin America and Europe to examine care regimes comparatively. Nicoli has published extensively on these themes in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. His most recent work includes the co-authored book O cuidado como direito: contribuições para o debate no Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos (2024) and chapters in international volumes such as Care and Pandemic: A Transnational Perspective (Brill, 2024) and Social Justice and the World of Work (Hart, 2023). He has also co-edited collections on feminist legal theory, sexual and gender diversity, and the conceptual rearticulation of social law. His research approaches the Global South not as a source of empirical variation, but as a space from which legal theory can be rethought.
