معرفی
Lindsey Bell is a Lecturer in the Department of Law and Criminology at the School of Law, Royal Holloway, University of London, having joined in August 2015 after teaching Personal Property & Trusts, Land Law, and Jurisprudence at the University of Bristol.
Education:
- LLB in Law, University of Bristol
- PhD in Law, University of Bristol (Thesis: "Trial by ordeal: a particularly nasty form of coin-tossing?")
Research Interests: Dr. Bell's work bridges legal history, anthropology, and jurisprudence through interdisciplinary analysis. Her doctoral research examined trial by ordeal as a fusion of legal, anthropological, and philosophical inquiry, while her current scholarship critically analyzes UK terrorism law—particularly the Prevent strategy's implementation in universities—and its tension with human rights frameworks. She also investigates indigenous land claims through temporal and reconciliation frameworks.
Research Trends: Bell's 2016-2018 publications reveal a dual focus: contemporary counter-terrorism policy in academic settings and historical legal practices. Her work consistently interrogates power dynamics between security imperatives and civil liberties, while applying anthropological perspectives to legal irrationality. The Prevent strategy debate forms a central thread, examined through human rights lenses and institutional compliance challenges.
Professional Activities: She actively engages with extremism discourse through workshops like "Tackling Radicalisation in Education" (2016) and conferences including "Extremism: A Warning From History" (2016), demonstrating applied policy relevance.
Advising and Grants: No verifiable information exists regarding graduate student supervision or externally funded research grants.
Labs and Teams: No institutional affiliations with research laboratories or structured academic teams are documented in available sources.
