International and European Law Projects
At the Sheffield Centre for International and European Law we welcome proposals for joint research projects from other universities.
Sheffield Centre for International and European Law (SCIEL) encourages collaborative research projects within its membership, and also inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional projects with other disciplines and other universities and organisations.
FemTech Surveillance: Gendered Digital Harms and Regulatory Approaches
Maria Tzanou & Tsachi Keren-Paz
The project was awarded a Leverhulme Research Project Grant funding and commenced on September 2022 for 24 months. It explores regulatory and remedial responses to FemTech surveillance which reflect: (1) the nature of the harm as gendered; (2) harms potentially undermining bodily integrity, in case of FemTech wearables; and (3) surveillance as performed by private, profit-seeking actors.

Health Governance after Brexit: Law, Language and Legitimacy
Professor Tamara Hervey, from the University of Sheffield’s School of Law, is co-leading a project with Queen’s University Belfast looking at post-Brexit governance in an area that was critical in the referendum debates: health and the NHS.

Doing Law Beyond the State: Research Methodologies in Comparative, EU and Public and Private International Law
What is it we "do" as lawyers, when we are looking at law ‘beyond the state’? Interest in the theoretical foundations of, and disciplinary methods within EU, comparative and international legal scholarship (both public and private) is on the rise. Practitioners and academics alike are pausing to think more about what it is that they take for granted, and what they might be able to do with law if they challenged what was taken as given within their respective (sub-)disciplines.
