The lecture was given by Dr. Yen-Tu Su, Research Professor at Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica (IIAS) in Taiwan. He also serves as the Deputy Director of the Center for Empirical Legal Studies at IIAS. His research interests include the law of democracy, democratic theory, constitutional theory, comparative constitutional law, and judicial behavior. Su has sought to bridge and extend the interdisciplinary dialogues between doctrinal jurisprudence, comparative law, and institutional design on the one hand, and democratic/political theory on the other. He also tries to integrate normative discourse with legal-political history and empirical studies. Su received his S.J.D. from Harvard University in 2010.
