Sorcha MacLeod, School of Law, University of Sheffield is a member of the Sheffield Centre for International and European Law and the Centre for the Study of Law in Society. This talk was given on Monday 24th March 2014. Sorcha teaches mostly in the areas in which she researches i.e. international law and international human rights law and she enjoy challenging traditional perspectives in these fields. Sorcha takes a critical, holistic and contextual approach to international law, taking account of history, philosophy, politics, culture etc and is very focused on the place of the individual in international law as well as the role of business actors in relation to human rights. She especially enjoys integrating her current research into undergraduate and postgraduate teaching by offering students insights into the latest developments in the business and human rights/corporate social responsibility sphere which I am able to do at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in various modules. For many years Sorcha coached Sheffield law students who were participating in national and international mooting competitions with great success and brought a lot of that experience into her day to day teaching. She often use moots and debates in her classes to encourage students to formulate persuasive arguments and to think on their feet. Sorcha also encourages students to employ theoretical views in a practical way for example by setting assessments which require the rewriting of cases from a critical international legal perspective e.g. feminism.
