Biography

I am a Full Professor in Political Science. I hold听a DPhil and MPhil in Politics from University of Oxford. I听spent my听undergraduate years at McGill University and Sciences Po Paris. Prior to joining UCL, I听held positions at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies in Oxford and at the Centre for the Study of Human Rights at LSE. I have听held visiting professorships at the 脡cole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris,听the Center for the Study of Law and Society at the University of California, Berkeley听and the European University Institute in Florence. I have听held major grants, including a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, an ESRC Future Research Leaders Fellowship and a European Research Council Starting Grant.

Please note: I am on research leave from 2018 to 2023.

Research

I am interested in the politics of climate change and the socio-legal study of human rights and equality issues. My听current, ERC-funded project, , explores attempts to govern the impacts of climate change we will not be able to adapt to at a听global and national level. Relying on a political ethnographic approach, the project explores the role of norms, identities and the micro-level, everyday dynamics of global environmental governance.听听

Another facet of my听work looks at the ways in which civil society organisations engage with the law to shape policy and social change. My听first monograph, , was published by Cambridge University Press in 2011. The book won the Socio-legal Studies Association and Hart Early Career Prize 2012 and the Best Book in Comparative Politics, Canadian Political Science Association 2012. Since then, I have听focused on the use of law by organisations interested in environmental issues and climate change as well as those concerned with human rights and equality.

I also work听as a consultant and learning partner to a number of civil society organisations and philanthropic foundations. This has included work with the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the Public Law Project, Access Social Care, Independent Age, Impact Law for Social Justice, the Baring Foundation, the Lankelly Chase Foundation, the Legal Education Foundation and BBC Children in Need. I听also sit听as a co-opted member on the Sustainable Future Committee of the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.听 听听
