RESEARCH PROFILEDEAN OF STUDENTS My Role as Dean of Students involves responsibility for welfare and student support within the law school, and I can assist with all enquires when such issues impact on academic work, espcially surrounding issues of essay submission deadlines and examinations, as well as any temporary absences from university. Students can consult me directly or via their own personal tutor. I work closely with other student support services where appropriate, and can discuss referrals on to further specialist support services for specific advice on health, accommodation, financial, careers, skills, counselling or mental health issues.I teach European Union and Constitutional and Administrative Law. My main interests are in EU law and the legal regulation of migration - especially EC free movement law and EU Citizenship, and the newly emerging immigration and asylum law of the European Union. In particular much of my work has been on on issues of EU Citizenship and on partnership rights in the context of EU immgiration and free movement law, considering the immigration rights of same-sex spouses, registered partners and cohabitants under EU law. I have also written on the new technique of pre-legislative and policy scrutiny and investigation, 'Integrated Impact Assessments', in EU lawmaking, with a particular emphasis on the use of this technique to secure protection of fundamental rights and on how it has been used the context of EU Migration law. As well as my teaching and academic research, I am an active member of the EU Subcommitte of ILPA, the Immigration Law Practitioners Association. We are actively engaged in consultation with UK and EU Institutions and in discussion of new developments in this field with academics and practitioners. I have been involved in preparing written responses, submissions and evidence for the European Commission and the House of Lords on various matters connected to the development of EU migration law and gave evidence for ILPA on two House of Lords subcommitte inquiries. |
