Just Theory

On the Legal Ways of Thinking - Professor Alison Young (Cambridge)

JustTheory Season 1 Episode 7

In this episode, we speak with Alison Young, Sir David Williams Professor of Public Law at Cambridge University, and a Fellow of Robinson College. Professor Young's main interest is in constitutional theory, particularly dialogue theory, where she draws comparisons between different means of protecting human rights.

We discuss the importance of popular legal education as well as Professor Young’s current research project in legal methodology. We talk about the model-theoretic approach in constitutional law and the need for constant readiness to revise our own assumptions.

We are grateful to Professor Young for her time and engagement, and we hugely support her work leading the Constitutional Law Matters initiative: https://constitutionallawmatters.org
