Dr Lorna Fox (1st September 2003 – 30th November 2003)

Dr Fox has been a lecturer in Law at Queen’s University, Belfast since 2000. Although in the very early stages of her academic career, Dr Fox has acquired an excellent and impressive research record. Although her initial focus is law, her recent work has a strong socio-legal dimension, as can be seen from her recently published work in ‘Law and Society’, on the concept of “home” in a range of disciplines and its relevance to property law. Dr Fox’s current research concerns aspects of legal theory, policy and practice in relation to the concept of home and its role in disputes between creditors and occupiers. During her time at the Centre, Dr Fox will be completing her research and writing on a monograph to be entitled ‘Conceptualising Home: Theories, Law and Policies.
