Lecturer in Law, Cardiff University
Lizzy is an interdisciplinary and critical legal scholar who works at the intersections of immigration law, critical legal studies, critical race studies and art.
Her doctoral research, 'Productions of Ignorance and Co-Productions of Resistance: Britain's Hostile Environment', was funded by Cardiff Law School Scholarship. This research focuses on contemporary UK immigration laws, known as the hostile environment, colonial histories of immigration laws and creative resistances to them. Approaches to this research include doctrinal and historical with critical property and critical race theory to scrutinise immigration laws as technologies of mobility, categorisation and segregation of people. Grassroots and co-productions of resistance to these processes were detailed through the case study of The Hostile Environment Walking Tour (2018), a participatory art project produced by Lizzy as part of the Who Are We? Project, a three-year project at the Tate Exchange.
