A joy to participate in today’s plenary #SLSBristol24, discussing how we support colleagues within and across institutions. Special to share it with @MagdaFurgalska & @DrPMCollins who were perceptive, reflective and engaging. The start of many conversations, I hope!

‘Being an academic requires brains, but it also requires heart and courage’, my legendary PhD supervisor @jamessflee giving a fantastic plenary on supporting colleagues and ecrs with @DrPMCollins and Magdalena Furgalska @SLSConference #SLSbristol2024

Our lecturer, @lukedgraham, at the @SLSConference in Bristol, discussed his paper 'Inhuman or Degrading Punishment and the Administrative State', in which he argued that the prohibition of inhuman or degrading punishment in article 3 of the ECHR extends beyond criminal punishment

My heart is so full! Last night at @SLSConference “Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge” won the Society of Legal Scholars’ Margaret Brazier book prize for Outstanding Mid-Career scholarship in 2024!! My profuse gratitude goes to the nominators, the judging panel, & @legalscholars
