Rachael’s work focuses on the governance and regulation of legal subjects and the impact of law on ideas of personhood, bodily autonomy and agency. She is interested in exploring the impact of medical devices on persons involved in their use, from the patient and clinicians, to manufacturers and family members. She is also interested in the legal subjectivity of irregular migrants, ideas of health as a tool of governance, the use of data in the criminal justice system, the potential impact of Brexit on human rights, and the evolution of legal frameworks and non-legal mechanisms in international migration cooperation.
