Bio

Dallal Stevens is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Warwick. Her expertise is in the fields of refugee and asylum law, on which she has published widely. Much of her work has revolved around the construction of the asylum seeker within a contemporary perspective, though she has also examined the plight of the refugee in a historical context. Her work adopts a contextual and, at times, comparative approach, and is concerned with highlighting the tension that exists between asylum law and human rights protection in this contentious area. She is currently researching asylum and refugee policies in the Middle East.
