Associate ProfessorI am conducting research on legal support and access to justice for senior citizens, using a socio-legal approach. As the population ages, the legal issues that senior citizens may face are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. My research explores ways to improve access to legal assistance for those who need it, through the use of local networks, technologies, and information resources.
Recent Topics of Interest:
My current focus is on access to justice for preventive purposes —an approach that helps people prepare in advance for potential legal issues in later life so that they can live actively and with peace of mind in their senior years. I am also interested in how technological developments are transforming people's access to justice.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Knowing ignorance.
