Biography

My research focuses on international children's rights law. My DPhil thesis examines the child's right to cultural identity under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. I have further contributed to a Commentary on the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (forthcoming), and conducted research on various aspects of children's access to justice, including in the informal and customary justice system. 

I have taught family law and children's rights at UCL and Oxford Brooke's University, as well as Tort Law at St Anne's College, Oxford. I have assisted on a number of research projects, including on the Child's Rights to Play.
