Working PhD Title
Judicial constraint of the policies and politics of asylum control in the UK.
Research Interests
My research investigates judicial rulings' impact on reformulation of refugee and asylum policy in the UK. I am specifically interested in how legal pressures for reform are understood in political and administrative institutions, and in what factors may influence how government responds to the courts. More broadly, I am interested in debates about human rights, political legitimacy and relationships between law , politics, and policy change.
