Expertise
Morag's primary research interest lies in the area of international law, notably in the area of development, participation and human rights in norm generation and implementation, in particular, concerning non-state actors. Her current research at TILT concerns the establishment of a new research line within the broad area of Law and Development, with a specific focus on technology and the regulation of technology in relation to development issues. Her aim is to address the implications for development of new technologies and the role of law in both regulating those technologies and in meeting the obligations of development. Technology within this development context draws in a whole range of topics, such as trade, intellectual property, corporate governance, human rights, participation, legitimacy, legal transplantation and transnational legal processes, and the aim of her research will be to situate technological innovation and transfer within this broader context.
In addition to this current research, she continues to follow developments relating to Roma and to write in this field.

(2000-2001). Morag worked at Maastricht University from 2004-2008, combining research and teaching obligations with the position of Executive Editor of the Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law.
