Dr. Shane Burke is a Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at Cardiff University's School of Law and Politics. His research focuses on the intersection of law and art, particularly copyright law's role in conceptual art, graffiti, street art, and sound. He holds an LL.M. in Intellectual Property from Queen Mary, University of London (where he won the School of Law Prize and Draper's Company Prize) and a first-class LL.B. from National University of Ireland Galway. He also earned an M.Sc. in Multimedia Systems from Trinity College Dublin.
His doctoral research, 'Dematerialisation and Dissonance: Conceptual Art Practices, Art World Strategies and the Role of Copyright Law,' explores legal frameworks governing art and is set for monograph publication. He teaches modules on Intellectual Property, EU Law, and Copyright Law on the LLM program.
Research interests include legal regulation of contemporary art movements, biotechnology patent law, and the evolving relationship between sound and legal systems. Key publications address graffiti copyright in France, conceptual art's copyright challenges, and law as an artistic medium.
Awards include the Modern Law Review Scholarship during his PhD. Current supervision includes students Michael Howard and Abdulrahman Zimmo. His work often bridges interdisciplinary gaps between legal theory and artistic practice.
