Biography

Susan Marks joined the London School of Economics in 2010 as a Professor of International Law. Her academic journey includes teaching at King’s College London and the University of Cambridge, where she was a fellow at Emmanuel College. Her work explores the radical tradition of studying international law in the context of human rights, emphasizing themes such as democracy, poverty, terrorism, and dignity. As a Fellow of the British Academy, she seeks to bridge concepts and ideas that intersect international law and human rights, drawing on a diverse array of materials that include literary texts and visual imagery.
