David Erdos is a political scientist working principally on the origins and impact of Bills of Rights.  David’s current work focuses on explaining Bill of Rights outcomes in the Westminster world (the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia).  This work looks both at the immediate triggers behind Bill of Rights adoption and on possible longer-term relationships between such projects and neoliberalism, social heterogeneity and 'postmaterialization'.  He is currently writing a monograph on this topic which will be published by Oxford University Press.  David is also developing a new project which looks more broadly at the nature of constitutional reform in the UK and other Westminster democracies.  This project examines not only developments in the area of legal rights but also in ethno-national relations and the electoral and parliamentary arena.  Beyond this area of study, David has interests the changing nature of the UK Constitution and in the interaction between human rights and the regulatory state (especially how privacy and data protection relates to, and may conflict with, freedom of expression).   In the Hilary Term of 2009, David convened a CSLS seminar series on "Human Investigation and Privacy in a Regulatory Age" which began looking into some of these issues.  For more information on this developing area of work please click here.

David has presented his research at a number of academic conferences not only in the UK both also in North America and Australasia.  Recent papers given include those at the 2007 annual conferences of the Socio-Legal Studies Association (UK), Political Studies Association (UK), American Political Science Association, Canadian Political Science Association and 2006 annual conference of the Australasian Political Science Association.

Gisella Hanley-Santos obtained her B.Sc. Hons. in Anthropology from University College London in 1993. She then went on to obtain her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1997 and 2003 respectively. As an undergraduate she researched the reasons why street children in Puebla, Mexico ended up on the streets, critically examining the way public policy on street children at the time reflected neo-conservative ideas about the family and poverty.

At the masters and doctoral level she continued researching street children, but this time in Brazil. Her doctoral research was on issues of identity change and resistance among street and delinquent youth in a drug rehabilitation program in southeast Brazil. As a postgraduate, she also was involved in other research projects, including working with The Harvard Family Research Project on their School Transition Study in Los Angeles; undertaking pilot studies on street children in Chiapas, Mexico; and analysing data on Chicano gangs in Los Angeles.

Once Gisella finished her doctorate in 2003 she returned to Brazil, this time to the northeast region where crack-cocaine had begun to hit the streets of the city of Salvador. It was here that she strove to combine both research and practice by setting up and running a drug treatment program for street children, called “Viva a Vida” (www.vivaavida.org). In a participative residential environment, Viva a Vida provides therapeutic as well as educational intervention so that the boys can understand and address their addiction as well as gain the educational tools necessary to build productive lives for themselves once they leave the program.

In 2009, Gisella returned to England to pursue her research interests in rehabilitation and social integration for street children and young offenders. Gisella joins the Oxford University Centre for Criminology as a Research Officer to work with Dr Ros Burnett on an evaluation of three pilot projects providing linked services for young adults (aged 18-24 years) in the criminal justice system.

Jane Kaye BA (ANU); LLB (Melb); Grad.Dip.Leg.Pract. (ANU); DPhil (Oxon) is a Research Fellow in Law at the Oxford Genetics Knowledge Park, based at the University of Oxford. Jane carries out research in the area of genetics, working with clinicians and researchers to identify issues of legal and policy significance. She is currently working on the following issues:-
• The way in which the shared nature of genetic information challenges the legal obligation of confidentiality and the duty of care of clinicians. This characteristic of genetic information also raises the issue of whether there is a right of access to shared genetic information by third parties such as relatives. This research will attempt to map the contours of the concept of genetic privacy.
• Property rights in biological samples, copyright in genetic databases and patents over medical diagnostic tests that have implications for the development of genetic tests.
• The application of the Gillick principle by clinicians in the genetic testing of adolescents at risk of sudden cardiac death.
• The requirements for consent in genetic research, in the case of genetic databases and for the purposes of genetic testing.

With her colleagues, Dr. Andrew Smart and Prof. Mike Parker of the Oxford Genetics Knowledge Park she has received funding from the Wellcome Trust for a socio-legal project called ‘Governing Genetic Databases’, which commenced in 2005.

His main area of interest is constitutional rights theory, combining constitutional law doctrines, comparative materials, and elements of moral and political philosophy in order to develop a general, substantive moral theory of constitutional rights. This starts from the observation that in recent decades, constitutions and constitutional courts around the world have employed strikingly similar approaches to constitutional rights law. On the one hand, there is a trend towards an extremely wide protection of (prima facie) constitutional rights – including a right to privacy, horizontal effect of constitutional rights, protective duties, and, increasingly, socio-economic rights. On the other hand, courts employ a balancing or proportionality approach to determine the limits of these rights.The constitutional texts, doctrines, and the case law can be reconstructed as one coherent model of constitutional rights, and this model connects to an attractive philosophical account of constitutional rights and judicial review.
