About
Dr Russell Solomon teaches in the Criminology and Justice Studies discipline of the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies.
Russell's current research interests include working on a project on the human rights implications of the United Kingdom's Brexit and another collaborative one examining the European Union's juridification and the challenge this poses for its democratisation.
