My research interests revolve round public law, comparative constitutional law, constitutional theory, and law & democracy.

I am author of Constitutional Idolatry and Democracy: Challenging the Infatuation with Writtenness (Edward Elgar, 2020)(https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788971102). Also, I've edited two collections: one recently published with Hart, entitled: Democracy and Rule of Law in China's Shadow (2021)(https://www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/uk/democracy-and-rule-of-law-in-chinas-shadow-9781509933983/), and another collection published in 2017 on the Sunflower/Umbrella Movements, entitled: Law and Politics of the Taiwan Sunflower and Hong Kong Umbrella Movements (Routledge, 2017)(www.routledge.com/9781472486141).

I am currently co-convenor for the Public Law Subject Section for the Society of Legal Scholars (SLS), and am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I hold a PhD in Law from the University of Stirling; an MA in Law & Society from George Mason University, and a BA in Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
