Undergraduate Teaching
I have taught mainly in the areas of public law: essentially, European law, UK constitutional law and human rights law. I have also developed courses on comparative public law, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with a particular focus on constitutions, constitutional justice and human rights.
 
I am currently teaching and coordinating the following modules on the Tremough Campus:
- Constitutional and Administrative Law
- Human Rights and Human Dignity
- UG Dissertation
- UG Research Paper
 
Postgraduate Research Supervision
I am happy to supervise research students working on constitutional law and human rights law, in particular those who want to engage in the comparison of law. Specific issues of interest include:
- Human rights and human dignity: theories and protection, constitutional justice;
- Importation and exportation of law, selection and circulation of legal models, use of comparative law by judges; globalisation;
- Constitutional reforms and democracy.
