Associate Professor of Law
My scholarship explores approaches to intellectual property (IP) in the international context in light of the purported goals of the TRIPS Agreement, and subsequent agreements. The premise that informs my work is that the full value of IP arises when IP law and policy is developed and assessed not only for its economic utility, but with a view to the various public purposes that it can facilitate. In particular, I take the view that IP laws should promote human flourishing and human development. As such, I have an interest in the intersection between IP, trade and human rights.
