Dr Jessie Hohmann is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge, Lauterpacht Centre for International Law and holds a Junior Research Fellowship at Darwin College, Cambridge.
Her research interests focus on the idea of human rights and its relationship to international law, investigating how human rights push at the limits of the international legal system. She is currently exploring these issues through the right to housing, with a forthcoming monograph, The Right to Housing: Law, Concepts, Possibilities (Hart 2011). Dr Hohmann also has research interests in the areas of indigenous rights, theories of human rights (particularly critical theories), and the role of human rights in social struggles. She teaches on the LLM human rights course at Cambridge, and at King’s College London.
Previously, Dr Hohmann completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge on ‘The Right to Housing: Theoretical and Practical Possibilities.’ She also holds a LLM from the University of Sydney, a LLB from Osgoode Hall (York University) and a BA from the University of Guelph. She is a non-practicing barrister and solicitor of the Law Society of Upper Canada and was previously Associate Lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney.
