Professor Aoife O'Donoghue

School of Law

My work focuses on international law, legal theory, history, constitutionalism, law and humanities and feminism. I am particularly interested in research that takes critical approaches, combines methodologies, or re-examines existing narratives or looks at utopias and tyranny. I am also interested in work that looks at the use of force, international economic law or global governance and Brexit.
