Research

Recent and current work:

- a piece for SCRIPTed on wireless Internet access and the law – it started life as a conference paper and appeared in the August 2009 issue
- a conference paper on the Gaelic Language Act in Scotland, presented at the Scotland: Ten Years On conference in June 2009
- an analysis of time limits and human rights in Scotland, coming soon in Juridical Review
- a staff research seminar at UEA on the Google Books case and proposed settlement – this is a project for 2010 and is both time-consuming and fun
- I’ll be speaking at BILETA 2010 in Vienna (March/April) on video games and the law, and at ECPR Regulatory Governance workshop in Dublin (June) on co-regulation and UK media law.
- a sprinkling of other pieces that are working their way through peer review – more information to follow when I can post about them.

All publications:

My incomplete SSRN page contains some other papers: see my author page here. Here is my publications page on the Norwich Law School website, which is a fairly comprehensive list, excluding some short pieces such as book reviews.

In 2009, I submitted a PhD on the regulation of Internet media. You can read some of the material contained in the thesis in the published and conference papers that I have made available. My doctoral supervisor is Dr. Eoin O’Dell of Trinity College Dublin. I carried out some research for the thesis with support from the Northern Telecom Canadian Studies Scholarship and participated in the OII Summer Doctoral Programme; both proved particularly valuable to my work.

I also participated in the Swan Group in Dublin along with colleagues from the esteemed disciplines of economics and education, despite not studying anything beginning with E. The Swan Group receives funding from the FBD Trust and is engaged in an interdisciplinary study of education policy in Ireland. Its final report was published in 2009.

At UEA, I will be developing other research streams and will post further information as that proceeds. I participate in the media@uea initiative.
