Speaker Series: Camilo Arturo Leslie

Dr. Camilo Arturo Leslie works in the areas of economic sociology and the sociology of law, with a comparative focus on the U.S. and Latin America. Theoretically, Leslie examines the institutional and ideational supports of legitimacy, trust, and ignorance. Leslie's main line of research surveys the rise and fall of the Stanford Financial Group fraud, a decades-long Ponzi scheme that left roughly 20,000 victims with $7.2 billion in losses.
