Heloise Robinson

Heloise Robinson is a legal scholar who works mostly on questions relating to medical law and bioethics, disability law and philosophy, equality, and feminist legal theory. Much of her work has focused on legal and ethical questions surrounding the use of techniques to select against disability, and she is the author of Selecting against Disability in the Liberal State (under contract with CUP), and one of the editors of Philosophical Foundations of Disability Law (under contract with OUP). She is also writing a second monograph, provisionally titled Pregnant Personhood: An Argument About Equality (under contract with OUP), where she is developing a new argument on the status of pregnant women.

Dr Robinson obtained a DPhil in Law from the University of Oxford, and has been working for a number of years at Oxford as a Lecturer in Law or as a Fellow. She is currently planning a move to another institution, and is looking forward to the opportunity to develop some of her work in philosophy during the time that she is an academic visitor at Uehiro, in advance of her move.
