Scholarly and Research Interests

My research interests fall in the fields of EU integration and racial integration.  I write on anti-discrimination law, intersectionality, the EU judiciary and EU governance.  My work is both empirical and socio-legal.  Previous research projects have focused on the interaction between social action and legal reform; cause lawyering; and black and migrant women in European welfare states.

Teaching

I am the module leader for the LLM Unit on European Internal Market and Competition Law.  In 2011 I plan to run an LLM module on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

I also contribute to the LLB course: EU Law, Discrimination Law.

PhD Supervision

I would be happy to consider potential PhD proposals in the fields of: Discrimination Law; EU Courts and Judiciary; Welfare in the EU; aspects of the Internal Market and Competition Law.
