Biography

Bartosz Biskup’s research focuses on the philosophy of family law, Queer & Law, and the philosophy of housing. Prior to joining the EUI, Bartosz was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tours, France, where he studied the intersection of housing rights with privacy and other social rights, applying empirical methods (Natural Language Processing) to analyse court cases related to housing.

His current research objective is to conduct legal and philosophical analysis, critique, and comparison of theories justifying Legal Partiality in family law - the reasons and norms allowing individuals to treat groups of people differently based on special relationships. He focuses specifically on ‘close’ relationships, including non-conjugal families and networks of care.

Bartosz received his PhD (cum laude) in Philosophy of Law from Jagiellonian University in Cracow with a dissertation critically analysing the received view about the right to marry in the European Convention on Human Rights. The thesis argued that marriage functions as an imperfect proxy for caring relationships, being both under- and over-inclusive by focusing solely on sexually affiliated partners rather than broader care and dependency relationships.

Bartosz is an alumnus of the Summer School on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in International Law at Leiden University and completed his Masters in Law and Philosophy at Jagiellonian University. He has held visiting research positions at various universities including Bologna, Heidelberg, and Helsinki.
