Sarah is an Assistant Professor of Law. Her research is mostly about how the human condition is imagined in European human rights law, and she is currently writing a book about this. She is particularly interested in the assumptions that are made in law about how we relate to one another and ourselves, and her recent work in this context concerns the meaning of the ‘right to hope’ in European human rights law; the construction of notions of truth and reality in family law; and the role of ideas about absence, loss, and lack in the construction of the category of personal identity in European human rights law.
Sarah convenes and teaches the LL221 Family Law course and co-convenes and teaches the LL211 Law, Poverty and Access to Justice course and the LL245 Feminist Legal Theory course. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a member of the International Law Book Facility’s Operating Committee, and a member of the Modern Law Review’s Editorial Committee. She wrote her PhD thesis (‘On coming to terms: How European human rights law imagines the human condition’) at the LSE, where she also taught family law and EU law on the LLB programme and human rights on the Summer School programme. She did her LLM at the University of Cambridge and her LLB at the LSE (including an Erasmus year at Sciences Po, Paris).
