About
Roxana joined LSE Law School as an Assistant Professor in January 2023. Her research investigates the legal system through the prism of structural inequality, with a focus on class and race. Roxana’s first monograph, A Precarious Life, presents a long-term ‘ethnography at home’ on a disadvantaged housing estate in England. In the book, Roxana draws on legal anthropology, philosophical enquiry, and the history of ideas to offer a fresh account of criminal law from the perspectives of those who are often brought under its remit. In addition to working within her home community, Roxana is interested in the interconnections between people and continents, and in this vein she examines similar themes of conflict, violence, and structural inequality in the context of Cameroon.
Roxana has taught in the areas of law, criminology, and research methods. This includes five years lecturing in Criminal Law at the University of Oxford and two years lecturing in Crime Policy at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. She currently teaches Criminal Law and Family Law at LSE.
Before arriving at LSE, Roxana completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Junior Research Fellowship at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Oxford, and a Stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship in Law at University College, Oxford. She holds an LLB in Law with European Legal Studies from the University of Kent and Charles University, Prague; an LLM in International Economic Law from SOAS, London; and a DPhil in Law from the University of Oxford.
