My research interests and expertise fall within the broader field of gender and international law, feminist approaches to international law, international legal history, Israel/Palestine and history of women’s international law and global governance.

My research project, Feminist Lawyering and International Law: Women Jurists in European Legal History (1899-1949), offers a transnational history of feminist politics within an early European women's movement. It does this by focusing on feminist jurists, lawyering and public policy activism at the transnational level on five themes – suffrage, nationality rights, sexual and child abuse, prostitution and trafficking, and women police – from 1899 to 1949. Using archives of international institutions and organisations as well as personal records such as diaries, biographies and histories of national feminist movements, this research offers a ‘pre-history’ of European feminist engagements with international law and gender legal reform before the emergence of women’s rights international conventions and institutions. It also explores whether and how campaigners’ identities and experiences shaped their legal thought and activism by focusing on the lives of five women and their contributions to the emerging international European legal culture around women’s rights and child welfare at the beginning of the 20th century.
