About
Fanni Gyurko is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, focusing on the No-Fault Compensation Schemes for Covid-19 Vaccines project led by Sonia Macleod. She holds a PhD from the University of Glasgow (2023), an MSc in Sociology of Law from Lund University (Sweden), and an MSc in Law and Political Sciences from Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest). Her research bridges law, migration, and access to justice, examining social norms and legal consciousness through migrant experiences in post-socialist contexts. Previously, she taught Jurisprudence and EU Law as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Glasgow and worked for NGOs like Transparency International Hungary.
Her work investigates moral economies, informal practices, and normative pluralism in Hungary and Scotland, with a focus on everyday corruption, workplace dynamics, and migrant integration. Notable projects include analyzing fare-dodging in Budapest’s public transport and the Hungarian government’s healthcare informal payment failures. She has presented at major conferences such as the Socio-Legal Studies Association and the University Association for Contemporary European Studies, and her research appears in journals like Journal of Legal Pluralism and Economic and Industrial Democracy.
Fanni’s interdisciplinary approach combines legal theory with empirical sociology, addressing how migrants navigate legal systems and non-state norms. Her current projects explore compensation schemes for vaccine injuries, building on her expertise in law-society intersections and post-socialist societal structures.
