My principal research lies in the field of obligations. Specifically, I am interested in doctrinal and theoretical approaches to the law of obligations and private law more generally. I have a general interest in intellectual history, particularly relating to law and legal thinking during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Amongst other things, I am working on a book which focuses on the contractual thought of James Dalrymple, Viscount Stair (1619-1695). Anyone interested in pursuing postgraduate research in these areas is very welcome to contact me.
