Prof Máiréad Enright’s research is in feminist legal studies and critical legal theory, with a particular focus on law and religion. She has written on issues including reproductive justice, law reform and grassroots organising, illegality in social movements, responses to historical injustice and obstetric violence. She often works with and advises groups campaigning around reproductive rights and historical gender-based violence, especially in Ireland and Northern Ireland. She is also interested in collaborations between artists and legal scholars. From 2020-2021, she was a Leverhulme Research Fellow. Her project, ‘Laws’ Inheritances’ examined how recent state efforts to redress institutional abuse in Ireland repeat or repurpose the legal structures that enabled the original abuse, and considers how that legal history could be inherited otherwise.
