Dr. Carole Lyons is a Lecturer at Robert Gordon University's School of Law & Social Sciences, specializing in EU Law, European Human Rights, Holocaust legacies in European legal systems, Transitional Justice, and EU Migration issues. Previously holding the prestigious Jean Monnet Chair in EU Law, she brings extensive expertise in European legal frameworks and their historical contexts. Her research interests focus on the intersection of historical events with contemporary legal frameworks, particularly examining how historical memory shapes current responses to migration crises and transitional justice processes. Dr. Lyons investigates the legacy of events like the Holocaust and Katyn massacre within European human rights systems, exploring tensions between historical memory and legal responses to contemporary challenges including Brexit, EU migration policies, and the Ukraine war's human rights implications. Dr. Lyons' publication record shows a consistent trajectory from early work on EU human rights case law (2002-2003) toward increasingly focused examinations of historical justice frameworks. Her recent work (2023-2025) demonstrates sophisticated analysis connecting historical atrocities with current legal challenges, particularly regarding migration 'pushbacks,' reparations for transatlantic slavery, and the human rights dimensions of the Ukraine conflict. This evolution reflects deepening engagement with how legal systems process historical trauma while addressing contemporary justice needs.

Her work with Paul Arnell on Brexit implications demonstrates her collaborative approach to examining complex legal transitions. As a non-practising Solicitor with formal legal training, she brings practical legal insight to her academic work while maintaining scholarly rigor in historical and theoretical analysis.

Edwige CAMP is a Professor at the Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France (UPHF), within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of English Studies. She has served as a University Professor since 2010, having previously been a Maître de conférences (equivalent to Associate Professor) from 2000-2010 at the same institution (formerly known as University of Valenciennes and Hainaut-Cambresis). She is an elected member of the CRISS laboratory council and participates in research axes 3 and 4. Her educational background includes a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in English from Strasbourg II in 2008, a PhD in English Studies from Paris III in 1997, a Master's degree in Law from Aix-Marseille III in 1993, and a DEA in Contemporary British Civilization from Paris III in 1992. She also holds a diploma from the Institute of Political Studies of Aix-en-Provence. Professor CAMP specializes in Scottish political life, institutions, and public policies, with particular expertise in devolution processes, Scottish independence movements, constitutional politics within the UK framework, and the impact of Brexit on Scotland. Her research examines the evolution of Scottish political institutions since devolution, the Scottish National Party's strategies, and the complex interplay between Scottish identity and British unionism. She has extensively analyzed referendums, electoral behavior in Scotland, and the development of distinct Scottish policies in areas such as justice, education, and social welfare. Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory focusing increasingly on post-referendum Scottish politics, the evolving relationship between Scotland and the UK following Brexit, and the changing nature of Scottish nationalism. While her earlier work concentrated on the establishment and functioning of devolved institutions, her more recent scholarship addresses contemporary challenges including fiscal autonomy, the impact of Brexit on devolution, and the SNP's evolving political strategies in the post-2014 referendum landscape. Professor CAMP is an active member of several academic societies including the CRECIB (Centre for Studies and Research in British Civilization), the SFEEC (French Society for Scottish Studies), and the SAES (Society of English Studies in Higher Education). She regularly contributes expert commentary to major media outlets including France Culture, France Inter, Radio Canada, France Info, RFI, and France 24, where she provides analysis on Scottish politics, Brexit, and UK constitutional issues. Her teaching responsibilities include British civilization and UK history for undergraduate programs in English Studies, International Business, and Law/AES-Language programs. She also teaches in the Master MEEF programs, covers the British market and European institutions in the International Business Negotiation Master's program, and leads seminars in various research Master's programs, particularly the HVCI Master's.
