Leticia Díez Sánchez

I am Assistant Professor in EU Law. Before that, I was Inquiries Officer at the strategic team of the European Ombudsman, Teaching Fellow in Law at Sciences Po Paris, and Emile Noël Fellow at New York University (Fulbright-Schuman Scholar).

I have a background in law and political economy and hold a PhD in EU Law from the European University Institute. My thesis, titled "Integration through law and its discontents: Unveiling the distributive impact of judge-made law in the EU", was awarded the Mauro Cappelletti Prize for the Best Thesis in Comparative and European law from the EUI, the First Place Award for the best doctoral thesis in European Law from the European Law Faculties Association (ELFA), as well as the Thesis Prize from the European Public Law Organization (EPLO).

My interests revolve around how EU law affects the distribution of wealth. This reflects in my research (my monograph "A distributional analysis of EU Law" will be published at Oxford University Press in the coming months ), as well as my teaching, as I established and currently co-ordinate a new Bachelor course on "EU Law and Inequality". I am also the coordinator of our Food Law programmes.

I serve as the Master Thesis Coordinator of the Faculty. I welcome supervision on the subjects of EU law and economic inequality; agricultural and food law; and rural development policies.
