Inga holds a PhD in Law from University College London. Her doctoral thesis critically examined criminal law responses to human trafficking and proposed an alternative paradigm rooted in labour law. Inga received the prestigious Modern Law Review Scholarship for her doctoral research.<\/p>\n
She previously received a MA in International Peace and Security from King\u2019s College London and a Diploma in Advanced International Studies from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Inga is Horst Siebert Memorial Fellow at SAIS Europe.<\/p>\n
Prior to her appointment at Exeter, Inga was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Modern Slavery at St. Mary\u2019s University London and a Teaching Fellow at University College London.<\/p>\n
Inga\u2019s research focuses on the intersection of criminal law, migration law, employment law and feminist theory. In this, her particular interests are feminised labour and labour exploitation, with a current research focus on the sex industry.<\/p>\n
She is currently working on a feminist socio-legal project on sex workers\u2019 preferred models of sex work regulation, which explores avenues of reconciling sex workers\u2019 regulatory needs and preferences with existing legal concepts in employment and self-employment regulation. She intends to explore the possibility of an inclusive concept of labour law that accommodates the individualized working conditions of sex workers. In this her work hopes to center the voices of sex workers when thinking about labour law.<\/p>\n
