NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS

Jason Beckett Jason studied law at the universities of Dundee (LLB)

and Glasgow (LLM and PhD); and taught at the Universities of

Newcastle and Leicester. He initially tried hard to defend a mainstream

understanding of Public International Law from the critical challenge.

He failed. And reluctantly accepted that the mainstream project was

neither intellectually coherent nor viable. Since then, he has analysed

the radical indeterminacy of international law; and the structural,

political, economic, and intellectual biases, this hides from sight.

rough analysing the religious structure of legal discourse, and

the silencing of non-European-White-Male voices, he has critiqued

the pursuit of universal truths and justices. Jason’s current research

focuses on poverty, intersectionality, cultural pluralism, and the self-

justication of mainstream legal analysis. is involves acknowledging

the limitations, or futility, of abstract legal critique; and advocates for

alternative approaches to international justice.

Jason has delivered conference papers and invited presentations in

Africa, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America,

occasionally to some acclaim. He always includes his current research

in his teaching, and oen develops research projects from his

classroom experiences. At heart he is a classroom teacher, focusedon

the edication and development of his students, rather than the simple

transfer of knowledge through lecture or writing.
