New Visiting Researcher at MOBILE - Gavin Sullivan
Gavin Sullivan is a Reader at Edinburgh Law School and leads the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project, Infra-Legalities: Global Security Infrastructures, AI and International Law. This sociolegal research examines how AI and automated decision-making is reconfiguring global security law and governance, focusing on digital bordering infrastructures, terrorist watchlisting, and the countering of terrorism and violent extremism online.
His first book, The Law of the List (CUP, 2020), won the 2021 ISA International Law and STAIR-ISA Book Awards for research bringing STS into dialogue with global politics. Gavin has provided pro bono legal representation to people targeted by security lists worldwide since 2010, including before the UN Office of the Ombudsperson. He is on the Independent Advisory Committee of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, he co-directs the Scottish Council on Global Affairs and he is on the Editorial Board of the journal, Transnational Legal Theory.
Gavin Sullivan will be visiting MOBILE and ICourts from from April 1st to April 30th 2025.
