Senior Lecturer, Essex Law School, researching fundamental (social) rights and their relationship to economic freedoms. Currently working as part of the EU-CIEMBLY project on intersectionality in citizens' assemblies: https://www.eu-ciembly.eu/en/home
Spent a lovely day in a very sunny Graz presenting the @eu-ciembly.bsky.social project's normative, analytical, and operational dimensions for incorporating intersectionality into the design of citizens' assemblies. Many thanks to the organisers of the Facing Inequalities conference for hosting!

Thanks again to Ilias and Sanna for organising such a great workshop on EU law in a volatile and uncertain world. Looking forward to seeing the outcome of all this great research!

Looking forward to this workshop tomorrow at City Law School on the topic of EU Law for a Volatile and Uncertain World, and to meeting new colleagues. I will be discussing all things intersectionality and citizens' assemblies, including the deficiencies within the existing EU equality law framework.

Was nice to catch up with colleagues at the Essex human rights research away day today and to hear about the exciting human rights work being conducted. I presented part of my book exploring the social dimensions of the freedom to conduct a business as a fundamental right in EU law.

Amazing views from the top of St Paul's today. Well worth the 528 steps to get there.

The team in question (minus the Kiwis who understandably joined online). Looking forward to our next catch-up in Essex in July.

Nice to be back in a (surprisingly) sunny Brussels after a long hiatus. Looking forward to discussing all things citizens' assemblies and intersectionality with some of the EU-CIEMBLY project team!

Excited to get my hands on the first print copies of my recently published book, which examines the constitutional and social dimensions of the freedom to conduct a business in EU law, which I argue can and should be reconceptualised in (fundamental) social rights terms.
