He is the author of numerous publications in major law journals, including The Journal of Legal History, Law and Critique, Rivista Critica di Diritto Privato, Utah Law Review, and Cardozo Law Review. At LSE, Dr Stramignoni has been a member of the Management Committee of the Gender Institute (from 1997 to 1999), and the Director and Admission Tutor of the LLF Programme (until 2008).

I am interested in social and cultural narratives of the present and in the way they highlight the limits of language in bringing about the legal-institutional arrangements that we have in Western Europe and beyond. In my work I am sceptical of many all too common conceptual understandings of the legal subject and of the legally “other”, and call for a poetics of comparison capable of being responsive to the ever increasing difficulty of being-in-the-world.
Dr Igor Stramignoni is a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Law in Context.
