Current Research

Rhetorical Community and the Question of Equality in the Vienna Sales Convention

The project pioneers an interdisciplinary study of the Vienna Sales Convention, addressing a gap in the scholarship by exploring the influence of the socio-economic and political factors on its making, subsequent interpretation, application, and development.  The project's methodological focus is a blend of critical discourse analysis, critical perspectives on the role of law in the political economy, and decolonial research methods. Embracing the Vienna Sales Convention as constitutive of a rhetorical community, the book recognizes and examines the intrinsic link between social, political and economic factors in the making and the consequent interpretation and application of equality as an underlying value in the Vienna Sales Convention. 

Death and Law: Interdisciplinary Explorations

I lead the research into "non-anthropocentric death". Specifically, my work engages with philosophy, history, anthropology, and social sciences to challenge legal paradigms to expand the understanding of environmental and community destruction as a form of "death" beyond human-centred perspectives. On behalf of the Death and Law Interdisciplinary Explorations project team, with colleagues in the project, I have received internal funding from the Aberdeen Humanities Fund Staff Research Awards 2024. The funding will cover the production of a podcast series to be published in 2025.

Private International Law in Global Value Chains 

As a member of the Global Supply Chains and Transnational Private Law Project – Private International Law Sub-group, I’ve contributed to the project with a working paper “From Regulation To Voluntarism: Discursive Power In Globally Fragmented Production” recently published on SSRN as a sub-series under ‘University of Edinburgh School of Law | LSGL Research Project Papers 2024.
