Biography

Luca Siliquini-Cinelli is Reader in Law at Cardiff University, UK.

Thomas Giddens is Chair of Jurisprudence at the University of Dundee, UK.

"Biopolitics and Structure in Legal Education is an examination of how the different actors of legal education participate in the systems that form the law school, the connections that develop from these systems, and how overarching contexts shape legal education. ... It is hoped that this publication will encourage further critical and rich investigations that illuminate and question the existing components of legal education. Moreover, this contribution will be of interest to legal educators, as they work within (and beyond) these structures." Aysha Mazhar, Keele School of Law, UK, The Law Teacher 2024
