Lucy joined Bangor as Reader in Law in 2022. Prior to joining, Lucy was Senior Lecturer in Law and Art at Sussex Law School (2013-2022), and held positions at Birkbeck School of Law University of London (2007-2012) and Exeter Law School (2012-2013). Lucy has been a visiting scholar and researcher at Law School, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Jul 2023); WZB, Social Science Research Institute Berlin (Jun 2013), amongst others.
Lucy’s research is broadly concerned with critical legal and contemporary philosophical understandings of law in relation to questions of practice and materialism. Themes of aesthetics, property, entropy and resistance are key within Lucy's work.
Always with a desire to apply theory to practice, Lucy's work has focused in recent years on methodological and practice-based questions around the intersection of art, law, resistance and property (see 'Art' - New Trajectories in Law Series (series editors Adam Gearey and Colin Perrin) (forthcoming, 2024) (London, Routledge).
Since 2015 Lucy has been involved in developing the Economic and Social Resaerch Council and Socio-Legal Studies Association funded 'Art/Law Network', a meeting space between artists, activists, lawyers, practitioners and other such agitators.
Part of Lucy's work is practice-based, including working with sound, video, sculpture and data sets, as part of project 'Instrumenting(s)' in collaboration with Anders Hulkjvist (University of Gothenburg) and Dann Hignell-Tully (Distant Animals). The practice-based element of her work is inspired by her work as a speculative artist whose work seeks to capture ontological questions around artificial and formal divides – the human/machine, subject/object, divisions between art and law.
Underlying her work is a philosophical probing of the nature of property, materiality and entropic forces of change. This culminated in monograph 'Protest, Property and the Commons: Performances of Law and Resistance' (Routledge, 2016) which theorises the intersection of property within law and resistance, interrogating the spatio-temporality and aesthetics of formal and informal laws, property (squatting and housing), commons and protest. Lucy uses the thermodynamic property 'entropy' to explain linear and nonlinear relations of matter, law, resistance, aesthetics informed by speculative realism, historical and new materialist philosophy and complexity theory.
