Leading Works in Law and Anthropology (Routledge, 2024)
Edited with Larissa Vetters
Part of the book series Analysing Leading Works in Law Series
The academic disciplines of law and sociocultural anthropology have a long but at times contentious history of drawing on each other in order to study and understand law and human experience in its diverse manifestations. This volume provides an innovative and engaging format by giving established and emerging scholars from diverse jurisdictions the opportunity to discuss and reflect upon what they consider to be a ‘leading work’. The collection offers a unique, multi-perspectival reconsideration of the intellectual history of the field whilst also addressing issues that are at the core of interdisciplinary legal research. Contributions shed light on the changing nature of cross-disciplinary research and collaboration, trace how disciplinary understandings of normativity have cross-fertilised each other, and reflect on choices taken within research on law and anthropology along a continuum of theoretical reflection, critique, engagement, and practical application. The book elaborates on the nature and the boundaries of law and anthropology research, as well as on its likely future development in light of the insights shared by contributors on their chosen leading works. The book will make fascinating reading for researchers and academics in both law and anthropology.
The Construction of Fatherhood: The Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, 2019)
The book critically investigates how the European Court of Human Rights deals with and makes sense of shifting practices and ideas of fatherhood. By tracing values and assumptions underpinning the Court’s caselaw, it engages in timely conversations about the role of men as fathers, and explores the importance attached to care when attributing legal status and parental rights to fathers. The book also delves into the Court’s use of its doctrines of interpretation, revealing the intricate interplay between doctrinal and moral forces in shaping the emerging (re)conceptualisation of fatherhood.
