Amy Kerr

I am a DPhil Candidate at the Faculty of Law. My research focuses on International Human Rights Law's binary understanding of gender and sexuality.

I am a Non-Stipendiary Lecturer in Law at Lady Margaret Hall and a Research Assistant to Professor Başak Çalı. I was Judicial Assistant to Lord Stephens at the UK Supreme Court for the 2024/25 legal year.

Before starting the DPhil, I studied BA Jurisprudence with Law Studies in Europe (First Class) and the BCL (Distinction) at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. Between the BA and BCL, I interned at JUSTICE and REDRESS, and worked as a research assistant to several barristers practicing in the field of human rights, SEND, housing, and asylum law.
