Dara Eisen is a full-time PhD candidate and law tutor at Durham Law School, Durham University, teaching undergraduate EU Constitutional Law and serving as a law tutor for the International Foundations Year and International Pre-Masters Programme at the Durham University International Study Centre (DUISC).
Her educational background includes:
- First-class honours LLB from Liverpool John Moores University
- Distinction in LLM in International Law and Governance from Durham University
Dara's research critically examines tensions between international human rights law and cultural practices, with core interests in international law, human rights law, law and culture, and animal law. Her doctoral thesis analyzes harmful cultural practices through case studies of Female Genital Cutting, Male Circumcision, and Whaling, investigating how Western perspectives dominate human rights frameworks and proposing balanced approaches that respect cultural diversity while mitigating harm. She explores interdisciplinary connections between legal theory, cultural anthropology, and ethics in global governance contexts.
She actively contributes to academic communities through leadership roles: co-organizing animal law debates and student conferences with A-Law charity, developing law curriculum materials after Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law training, and chairing mentorship programs for the Mazeltov – Innovation and Justice think tank.
