Catherine is a scholar of human rights and refugee law who draws on feminist approaches to international law to analyse protection, discrimination, and the relationships between them. Her work, published in leading academic journals including ICLQ, the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law and the International Journal of Refugee Law, cuts across subjects and regimes, including UK immigration and public law, non-discrimination and equality law, European Union law, and public international law. Catherine’s monograph, Arguing Discrimination in Migration Law is forthcoming with OUP.

Catherine holds an LLM from the LSE and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. Catherine is also a barrister (currently non-practicing). Before coming to academia she represented individuals before courts and tribunals and then delivered and managed legal advice services in the not-for-profit sector.
