Teaching
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and committed to excellence in my teaching.
I am currently the Unit Coordinator on the MA course on Constitutional and Substantive EU Law. I also teach on the undergraduate course, Law and Policy of the EU. Previously, I have taught public and EU Law at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh as well as at Humboldt University in Berlin.
Together with colleagues at the University of Cambridge, I designed the FutureLearn course, Exploring Law. It is an innovative course for school students that offers an authentic disciplinary experience and supports my efforts to widening participation.
