Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am interested in supervising PhD students that adopt critical approaches (e.g., feminist, queer, critical race theories) to international law, human rights and gender. I have a strong track record of supporting Ph.D. students to secure funding and would be pleased to hear from students interested in undertaking radical critiques of international law, human rights and gender. I also very supportive of interdisciplinary work and projects that are rooted in epistemologies from the 'Global South'.
