Biography

Ioanna Tourkochoriti is a legal scholar working on issues of human rights, constitutional law and jurisprudence from a comparative perspective. Before joining the Law Faculty at NUI Galway she held for eight years research and Faculty appointments at Harvard University. She was a Wertheim Fellow at the Labor and Worklife Program at Harvard Law School and a Lecturer on Law and Social Studies at the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies at Harvard University. She was also a Visiting Professor at the Department of Law at Carleton University, Canada. During Academic year 2019-2020 she was a Visiting Fellow at LSE's Law Department.

She received her PhD (in Law) from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales - Paris, France. Her dissertation (740p.) was awarded the Highest Academic Distinction. She received a Masters in Political Theory from EHESS - Paris, and an L.L.M. in Public Law from Université Panthéon-Assas, Paris II, France. She holds an L.L.B. in Law (4 year law degree) from Athens Law School, Greece. She has received a number of Fellowships and honors from the Greek State and the European Union. In December 2019 she was awarded a Simon Robert Fellowship by LSE's Law Department, which is awarded to outstanding legal scholars.

Her book "Freedom of Speech: A Philosophical Inquiry into the Revolutionary Roots of American and French Legal Thought" (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming) was characterised by reviewers as "leading", "innovative" and "based on extraordinary research". She has published widely and with leading presses and journals from all around the world on freedom of expression, freedom of religion, harm to self, human dignity, postmodernism and the law, as well as on issues of discrimination on the grounds of religion and disability. Her paper on the Burka Ban comparing freedom of religion in France and the US has been downloaded more than 9,735 times (at: http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj/vol20/iss3/4/ and https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2028341). Her paper "What is the best way to realise rights?" published by the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies in 2019 is featured by Oxford University Press among the papers that have made the most impact in the field of law: https://academic.oup.com/journals/pages/best-of-law

Her publications include analyses of hard cases involving freedom of expression and freedom of religion and enforcing antidiscrimination law. In her analysis of these issues she follows innovative comparative and interdisciplinary approaches. She has published an essay on the comparative law methodologies she follows in some of her writings. She is currently working on a project on comparative constitutionalism, on the concept of human dignity and on a comparison of US and EU Anti-Discrimination Law. She is co-editing volumes on a broad range of topics related to human rights, antidiscrimination law, freedom of expression and constitutional revolutions with scholars from all over the world. She is also organizing relevant workshops and conferences.

She participates in numerous research consortia all around the world. Among others, she is co-leading an International Research Collaborative on 'Headscarves and the Law: Global Perspectives' with scholars from all over the world sponsored by the American Association for Law and Society: https://lawandsociety.site-ym.com/page/IRCHeadscarvesLawGlobalPerspectives. She is also co-leading an international research consortium on Antidiscrimination Law and Religion and on Comparative Rights Jurisprudence. She has served as the Chair of the Younger Comparativists Committee of the American Society of Comparative Law (2018-2019). She is currently a member of the Board of Editors of the American Journal of Comparative Law, a member of the plurilinguism Committee of the American Society of Comparative Law and the Chair of the Website Committee of the same society.

She has lectured and delivered guest seminars at numerous Universities all around the world. While at Harvard University, she taught courses on human rights from a comparative and international perspective, jurisprudence, social and political theory. She received Teaching Excellence awards almost every semester she taught at Harvard by the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning and the Dean of Harvard College. She supervised a number of thesis and served as a member of the Board of Academic Advisors at the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies. She has also taught at the University of South Carolina (Comparative Law) and at the Law Department of Carleton University, Canada (Equality-Discrimination).

Apart from being a legal theorist she has also practical experience as a lawyer. She has handled human rights cases at the European Court of Human Rights and has served as an Investigator with the Human Rights Division of the Greek Ombudsman.

At NUIG she is the Convenor of the Legal and Political Theory Events Series, an interdisciplinary forum in the University that organizes Workshops, Lectures and other Events on issues of current interest. She is also a member of the Gender ARC (Advanced Research Consortium on Gender, Culture and the Knowledge Society) and she participates in The Gender and Public Policy (GPP) research group.
