Visiting Fellows
In the academic year 2009-10 we had four fellows in residence as follows:

Dr Kimberley Brownlee, Department of Politics, University of Manchester, UK
The purpose of this research is to examine both the defensibility of various forms of personal and public protest and the justifiability of different legal and political responses to protest. The work aims to address certain key theoretical and practical issues in moral political and legal philosophy.
