Professional Focus:

I am interested in the complex interaction of law and social relations. The focus of my research and writing has been on behavior that is either formally illegal but socially acceptable, or formally legal but socially unacceptable, and the struggle of legal institutions to respond to such behaviors. I have also written about dispossession and restitution, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. I am also interested in exploring innovative teaching methods and in the development of interactive teaching materials.
