Biography

I am a Lecturer in Law, University of Leed. In the academic year 2020/21, I was an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bristol. I completed my PhD in Law at the University of Glasgow.

My research interests and activity sit at the intersection between legal/constitutional theory, socio-legal studies, and labour law. My recent work draws on legal theoretical and socio-legal insights to comprehend the ways that law has been mobilised effectively in the labour law and industrial relations context.

I am currently leading an ESRC New Investigator Grant research project, TRACTION: Transnational Labour Constitutionalism: Strategic Litigation and the Constitutional Protection of Work.’ This research aims to provide a critical map of the ways that transnational labour law mechanisms have been mobilised by trade unions in Europe to secure recognition and enjoyment of fundamental rights at work.
