Biography

Roxana joined LSE Law School as an Assistant Professor in January 2023. Her research investigates the legal system through the prism of structural inequality, focusing on class and race. Roxana’s monograph, 'Precarious Life,' presents a long-term ethnography of a disadvantaged housing estate in England, using legal anthropology and philosophical inquiry to explore criminal law perspectives. She examines similar themes of conflict, violence, and structural inequality in connection to Cameroon. Roxana has taught law and criminology, including five years lecturing Criminal Law at the University of Oxford and two years lecturing in Crime Policy at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Currently, she teaches Criminal Law and Family Law at LSE. Prior to her position at LSE, Roxana completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Junior Research Fellowship at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies and a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Oxford.
