Peck's research critically examines pharmaceutical companies' accountability for restricting access to essential medicines through unjustified pricing, analyzing intersections between the Right to Health, Business and Human Rights frameworks, and non-state actor obligations under international law. His methodological work pioneers socio-legal approaches combining doctrinal analysis with sociological observation in human rights contexts.
Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on health-access barriers in intellectual property regimes and innovative research methodologies, with emerging exploration of legal-societal interactions in genocide recognition processes. His work bridges theoretical human rights frameworks with tangible healthcare access challenges.
Funded by an ESRC 1+3 PhD Scholarship through NWSSDTP, Peck completed doctoral research supervised by Prof. Sigrun Skogly and Dr. Rafael Sava, investigating business accountability mechanisms for the Right to Health. His thesis specifically addressed pharmaceutical pricing practices violating access to essential medicines.
