FUNDED RESEARCH
My dominant interest is the ability and limitations of law to relate to social change. My philosophy of research is that research and scholarship does not exist in isolation from the developments in society but rather, that it is both a result of and an impetus for social change. A critical concern of my research is to conceptualise the ways in which law operates as a continuum of effectiveness, the central premise being that black letter law is just one regulatory option available to policy makers. Consequently my scholarship straddles areas of social change where I explore social exclusion and public access to services in two areas:
(1) the transition between being a citizen to consumer in public law - in particular with respect to ombudsman; and
(2) the ongoing issue of accessing reproductive services - in particular in relation to surrogacy.
