Biography
Nozizwe Dube is a legal scholar specialising in EU law, Critical Race Feminism, and intersectionality. Her PhD thesis, “Demarginalising Intersectionality: A Critical Race Feminist Analysis of EU Equality Law”, analyses the foundations of the EU equality law framework to identify how they facilitate or frustrate the recognition of intersectional discrimination and the legal subjectivity of multiply marginalised groups. Beyond analysing the equality law jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU, she also conducts comparative research with the European Court of Human Rights, the European Committee of Social Rights, the US Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
Nozizwe holds a Bachelor and Master of Laws from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). She conducted her PhD research at Maastricht University (the Netherlands). During her doctorate, she was a recognised student at Oxford University’s Faculty of Law throughout the 2025 Trinity term. She has taught courses on EU law, international law, human rights of women, and legal English. Her work has been published in journals such as the Common Market Law Review and the Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law.
As a Max Weber Fellow, Nozizwe will develop a book proposal based on her PhD dissertation. She will also expand her research to examine other domains of EU law, specifically EU Constitutional Law and EU Internal Market Law, through the lens of Critical Race Feminism.
