Rhiannon Ogden-Jones

Rhiannon has recently completed her doctorate and was the recipient of the Christopher and Sharyn Brooks Graduate Scholarship. Her doctoral research explored the legal history of National Parks in England and Wales, looking at the legal relationship between national parks, land ownership and administrative law, when compared to the 'conventional' national parks model adopted in other jurisdictions. A paper derived from this project won the Anthony Hart Doctoral Prize at the British Legal History Conference in 2024.

Alongside her research, Rhiannon is a Stipendiary Lecturer at St Hugh's College and a Senior College Lecturer at Keble College,  teaching the core modules of Public Law (both Administrative and Constitutional), Land Law, and Tort Law. Rhiannon has also held post as the Graduate Teaching Assistant in Environmental Law, teaching the subject as an undergraduate option.

Previously, Rhiannon was awarded the Oxford-Canada Scholarship by the Canadian Rhodes Scholarship Foundation which enabled her to complete an LLM at the University of McGill. During her LLM she explored the legal history of nuisance as a form of environmental protection across different common law jurisdictions. Rhiannon was awarded a degree in Jurisprudence BA (Hons) from the University of Oxford (Corpus Christi College) in 2020.
