M.E.A. (Morag) GoodwinUniversitair hoofddocent Tilburg Law School Department European and International Public Law  ExpertiseMorag Goodwin is an Associate Professor in International Law. Morag's primary research interest lies in the field of international law, in particular critical approaches to international law. She conducts research and teaches in the areas of development, participation, non-state actors and human rights in norm generation and implementation. She is interested in questions of legitimacy, in relation to the exclusion of non-state actors, the dominance of human rights, technology regulation and issues of global law. Her current research is focused on the Roma, examining questions of the role of law in maintaining and enforcing exclusion and of legal empowerment. In particular, she is interested in the way in which Romani individuals and communities interact with and are acted upon by the law. Additional aspects of her research in relation to the Roma are focused on European Union integration efforts. A further strand of her research relates to the regulation of technology, notably in the area of technology transfer, and human rights and ethics in relation to technology regulation questions. She is the co-author (with Roger Brownsword) of the CUP Law in Context book, Law and the Techologies of the Twenty-First Century (2012). Morag is also leader of the Erasmus Mundus Curriculum Development funded project EDOLAD ('European Doctorate in Law and Development'), heading a consortium of European and non-European partners. In addition, she is involved in Tilburg Law School's global law project. Key words News items
