Hasan Dindjer is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Oxford and the Blanesburgh Fellow in Law at Balliol College. He will be a Global Research Fellow at NYU School of Law in the Spring Semester, affiliated with the Center for Law and Philosophy.
He researches and teaches broadly across public law and philosophy of law, as well as related areas of moral and political philosophy. In philosophy of law, he has worked mostly on foundational issues in general jurisprudence. In public law, he has written on standards of review in administrative law, reason-giving by government agencies, and the connection between parliamentary sovereignty and statutory interpretation, among other things.
At NYU, he will be completing a project on the standard of reasonableness in administrative law. This research integrates doctrinal analysis with theoretical work in ethics and political philosophy.
Hasan read for his BA and BCL at New College, Oxford, and an LLM at Harvard Law School, where he was a Fulbright Scholar. He was an Examination (‘Prize’) Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, where he completed his DPhil.

Robert Greally is a Lecturer in Law at the Bristol University Law School in the United Kingdom. He previously completed his PhD in Constitutional Theory at the University of Sheffield in 2020 and was awarded a Modern Law Review COVID-19 Fellowship in the same year.
Robert’s research focuses on the relationship between law and ordinary democratic politics within modern constitutional democracies, with a particular focus on how political institutions, such as legislative assemblies and political parties understand, shape, and interact with constitutions. He has published in these areas in leading academic publications and blogs, including the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, Public Law, the Cambridge Law Journal and the UK Constitutional Law Association Blog. He co-founded and co-directed the Centre for European and Public Law at Bristol University and currently co-convenes the UK Constitution Law Association's Doctoral and Early Career Researcher support activities.
Robert has been awarded the US-UK Fulbright Commission Scholar Award to conduct research at NYU. His research project examines the reasons behind the distrust and neglect of legislatures in modern constitutional theory through a comparative historical analysis of U.S. and U.K. constitutional thought. This will form part of the forthcoming monograph on the importance of democratic legislative assemblies for constitutional democracy.
