Academic and research interests

His main interests are in the fields of constitutional, administrative, and comparative public law, with a particular specialisation in human rights law.

He is currently working on aspects of the relationship between aspects of regulation and human rights, and has publications forthcoming on for example, the use of public procurement for social purposes, regulatory developments in British law, and human rights in Northern Ireland.

He combines this academic research with an interest in making connections between theory and practice. He has served on several governmental committees, including the (Northern Ireland) Standing Advisory Commission on Human Rights and the European Commission's group of legal experts on equality law.

He is also a member of the editorial board of several scholarly publications, including the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies and Butterworths' law in Context series.

Teaching interests

Undergraduate teaching centres on constitutional law, administrative law, jurisprudence, and labour law. At the graduate level, he teaches (and organises) a course on comparative human rights and a course on international economic law and labour rights.

He is a visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School.
