Constitutional Studies Group
The Constitutional Studies Group builds on a long and distinguished tradition of constitutional scholarship at UCD. By drawing on the wide-ranging expertise of current staff, the Group seeks to continue UCD’s proud record of excellence in the area of constitutional studies.
The Group has two core objectives. First of all, it aims to promote research in this area by providing an active and co-ordinated research community which engages in both traditional individual scholarship and collaborative and inter-disciplinary research. The Group is particularly committed to providing a supportive environment for early career postgraduate researchers within which they can avail of the Group’s extensive expertise.
Secondly, the Group also seeks to encourage understanding and discussion of constitutional law both in Ireland and internationally through a wide range of activities including publications, conferences, public lectures, research seminars, policy submissions and research projects.
The Group is hosted by the School of Law in UCD and is composed of members of the School of Law and of the School of Politics and International Relations whose current research includes work on European and Irish constitutional reform, democratic accountability, freedom of expression, privacy, the rule of law, regulatory governance, executive agencies and Irish constitutional history
