I taught at Coventry University from September 2017 until January 2020, when I took up my current position as a Lecturer in Private Law at the University of Glasgow. Since coming to Glasgow University, I have taught Land Law, Equity and Trusts, Advanced Property and Trusts, and the Land Torts. I also currently serve as the Level Two convenor, and the Deputy Undergraduate Admissions Officer for the School of Law.

I am interested in English Private Law generally, with an emphasis upon Property Law, the Law of Trusts (particularly constructive trusts), Unjust Enrichment, and Private Law Theory. I have a particular interest in the conceptual analysis of equitable interests, the ‘mere equity’, and the taxonomy of Private Law remedies.

I am happy to talk to prospective PhD students about any prospective project in Private Law, particularly those in the Laws of Property, Land Law, Trusts, or Unjust Enrichment. I would also happily discuss projects concerning the analysis of crypto-assets or crypto-currency.

I currently teach Land Law and Equity & Trusts at level two, and have previously taught the Land Torts at level one. I have also taught a section of ‘Advanced Property & Trusts’ at level four.
