Intersections of migrancy, jurisprudence, and critical theory and keeping alive law’s potential for at least temporary and local change

Zoe Bantleman

Research Student

Zoe is conducting a symptomatic analysis of legal judgments on issues of movement, migration, protection, and nationality, which she terms “the common law of hospitality”, to interrogate how judicial indeterminacy is resolved when confronted with alterity and how hospitality is conditioned by judicial decision-making. 

As a barrister, Legal Director of the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA), and an editor of the Journal of Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Law, Zoe has spent her career in the United Kingdom writing, teaching legal professionals, and conducting court, policy, and parliamentary advocacy. She has presented her research and work at numerous conferences, roundtables, workshops, and seminars, across Europe and the UK.

Zoe has a Bachelor of Laws from Durham University and a Master of Laws from the LSE, where she helped co-found and co-edit the LSE Law Review and co-edit the LSE Amnesty International Journal 2016: Human Rights and Global Governance.
