Background
What happens when law must regulate entities it cannot directly perceive?
The genome. The embryo. The algorithm. These are not simply legal objects awaiting regulation, nor scientific objects awaiting discovery. They exist in a space that neither discipline, alone, has the tools to fully comprehend.
My work is theoretical. I bridge philosophy, epistemology, science, and law—not to make them speak to each other, but because these phenomena demand a wider frame. A legal question about embryo status is also a question about temporality, potentiality, and how we know what we claim to know. A regulatory boundary around genetic data is also a claim about where the self begins and ends. The disciplines cannot be separated because the objects themselves refuse separation.
This is what I explore here: the assumptions that travel between fields unnoticed, the metaphors that harden into categories, the moments where our inherited frameworks meet their limits—and what it might mean to think beyond them.
Today
Completing doctoral research in law, I examine how scientific categories migrate into legal frameworks and quietly reshape what law can see and regulate. Working across constitutional law, bioethics, and critical epistemology, I'm drawn to the unexamined assumptions that move between disciplines—the metaphors that become legal categories, the technologies that challenge existing frameworks. Here, I share that work: research, writing, and the questions I'm still sitting with. You might want to click on the green buttons to get information about the genome, which is the current invisible structure I analyse, from a legal vantage point. Thanks for passing by.
