Research interests

Professor McHugh-Russell applies archival, analytical and critical methods to study legal contexts concerned with labour, corporate governance, and economic development to produce scholarship at the intersection of law, political economy, and the sociology of knowledge. He seeks to understand how law is shaped by other forms of expertise, how law interacts with other modes of governance, and how law and other forms of knowledge work together to distribute economic and political power. His research has included projects focused on debates about informal work at the International Labour Organisation, the impact of World Bank鈥檚聽Doing Business聽project on national business regulations, and the rise of 鈥渃orporate governance鈥� as a globally dominant framework for thinking about corporate misconduct.
