Profile
Biography
Colin joined the School of Law at Essex as a Lecturer in Law in 2018, having previously held an Associate Lecturer post at the University of Kent, between 2003 and 2018. He is a trustee and Membership Secretary of the Social Legal Studies Association (SLSA), and is committed to furthering socially-contextual legal research, particularly in areas where legal doctrinal research has been the traditional focus. Colin's primary research area focuses on corporate governance using doctrinal, social theory, and economics methodologies. He has a particular interest in the application of systems theory and cybernetics to questions of corporate governance, as well as fiduciary law and theory. Colin's secondary research area is historical, focusing on the early twentieth century generally, with a specific focus on crime and policing in the inter-war years. He is also interested in the history of women police. Colin is happy to supervise PhD students in the areas of corporate law, fiduciary law, law and social theory, crime and/or policing history, and women's legal history. Please contact Colin via email in the first instance.
