Research Overview
Liam's research interests generally span medical and family law with a particular focus on issues concerning queer people, legal parenthood and the regulation of assisted reproduction. Within this, he is interested in discussions of a ‘right’ to know one’s (bio)genetic ‘origins’. He is also developing a focus on critical theories of law, especially those inspired by queer/trans and abolitionist theories and activism.
