Professor Colin Harvey

School of Law

My work focuses on human rights and constitutional law. I am particularly interested in the interaction between constitutionalism and human rights in a British-Irish context. I am also interested in the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants and the relationship to debates around citizenship, membership and belonging.
