Taking a unique and critical approach to the study of Public Law,
this book explores the main topics in UK Public Law from a range of
underexplored perspectives and amplifies the voices of scholars who
are underrepresented in the field. As such, it represents a
much-needed complement to traditional textbooks in Public Law.
Including insights from a diverse list of contributors, the book: *
Enriches students' understanding of the dynamics that emerge within
public law; * Highlights the impact of historical and societal
inequities on public law norms; * Demonstrates the ways in which
those norms may impact minorities and perpetuate inequalities. With
most chapters written by underrepresented or minoritised persons in
the field, this text offers students a critical, rich, and
insightful approach to public law.

This edited collection draws together papers delivered at a
symposium on New Frontiers in Empirical Labour Law Research held at
the University of Cambridge in April 2014. It contains
contributions from established and emerging experts across a range
of disciplines (including employment relations, industrial
psychology, sociology, economics and political science) to consider
four broad themes: the case for empiricism in labour law; the
potential for mixed methods; methodological possibilities and
insights from other disciplines; and practical challenges and words
of caution for those conducting empirical research. This collection
seeks to cultivate confidence and competence in empirical methods
among both established and young labour law scholars, through an
intergenerational and interdisciplinary 'lessons learned' dialogue.
It contributes to the broader debate regarding empirical research
methods in labour law, and casts light on how empirical research
can be conducted in highly contested fields to enhance labour law
policy-making. This collection aims to inspire labour lawyers to
embark upon new forms of empirical research, both to enrich their
existing research projects, and to ask new research questions. It
offers the first stage of a collaborative and interdisciplinary
dialogue on empirical labour law research, to emphasise the
importance of collaboration and intergenerational mentoring in
building empirical capacity.
The UK population is ageing rapidly. While age discrimination laws
are seen as having broad potential to address the 'ageing
challenge' and achieve instrumental and intrinsic objectives in the
context of employment, it is unclear what impact they are having in
practice. This monograph addresses two overarching research
questions in the employment field: How are UK age discrimination
laws operating in practice? How (if at all) could UK age
discrimination laws be improved? A reflexive law theoretical
standpoint is employed to investigate these issues, applying a
mixed methods research design that engages qualitative,
quantitative, doctrinal and comparative elements. This book
demonstrates the substantial limitations of the Equality Act 2010
(UK) for achieving instrumental and intrinsic objectives. Drawing
on qualitative expert interviews, statistical analysis and
organisational case studies, it illustrates the failure of age
discrimination laws to achieve attitudinal change in the UK, and
reveals the limited prevalence of proactive measures to support
older workers. Integrating doctrinal analysis, comparative analysis
of Finnish law, and the Delphi method, it proposes targeted legal
and policy changes to address demographic change, and offers an
agenda for reform that may increase the impact of age
discrimination laws, and enable them to respond effectively to
demographic ageing. Runner up of the 2017 SLS Peter Birks Prize for
Outstanding Legal Scholarship. The author was also awarded the 2020
ISA-RCSL Adam Podgorecki Junior Prize.

This collection brings together perspectives from industrial
relations, political economy, political theory, labour history,
sociology, gender studies and regulatory theory to build a more
inclusive theory of labour law. That is, a theory of labour law
that is more inclusive of non-traditional workers (including those
in atypical work, or from non-traditional backgrounds); more
inclusive of a variety of collective approaches to work regulation
that foster solidarity between workers; and more inclusive of
interdisciplinary and complex explanations of labour law and its
regulatory spaces. The individual chapters speak to this theme of
inclusivity in different ways and offer different suggestions for
how it might be achieved. They break down the barriers between
legal research and other fields, to promote fruitful and
integrative conversations across disciplines. In the spirit of
inclusivity and intergenerational dialogue, the book blends
contributions from early career and emerging scholars with those
from leading scholars in the field, featuring critical commentary
from senior labour law figures alongside theoretically and
empirically informed work.
