Delighted and honoured to be a joint recipient of the 2024 R Jean Banister Prize Lecture Series. Excited to visit departments around the country to talk about our work on sensory coding, memory, and homeostatic plasticity - let me know if you're interested!
Honoured and humbled to join the Executive Committee of the Society of Legal Scholars (SLS). I look forward to working with colleagues over the next three years to ensure that @legalscholars remains a positive and dynamic organisation within the legal community.

Over a decade ago, I taught a brilliant young labour lawyer tutorials in labour law. Here is @Joe_R_Atkinson today with powerful reflections on automated management and discrimination law. You are in for a treat - fabulous post. https://t.co/tNn0ChM0qF
In the roller coaster that is 2020, I have been awarded the @isa_sociology RCSL Adam Podgórecki Prize 2020 for outstanding scholarship of a socio-legal researcher at an earlier stage of their career. Deeply honoured to receive this award. @MelbLawSchool 1/4

A new online exhibition from the @yalelawlibrary explores the marks that readers leave in their law books. The marks left by readers document the lived experience of the law, and remind us that law is above all a human endeavor. https://t.co/9INNyc4CgH

Bad time for academic humblebrag, but for once I'm in fact *delighted* this article is published in Political Studies. TLDR: the 'constitutional crisis' narrative of Brexit overstates the capacity of constiutional law to tame & regulate referendum-politics
