Biography
Sarah Arduin is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Law at Trinity College Dublin. She is a graduate of the University of Paris II Pantheon-Assas (Licence de Droit) and of Trinity College Dublin (LLM). She holds a PhD from the School of Law at TCD on comparative constitutional and regulatory regime in the context of the right to education of persons with disabilities. Her main field of research sits at the intersection of regulation and human rights with an emphasis on the right to education. Her current research seeks to better understand how and why significant gaps have emerged between educational policies as expressed by law and the level of compliance with legal norms in the lived experience of schools. In this context, Sarah Arduin is looking at the information expressed in a legal framework, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), identifies how the audience understands and interprets the legal norms, and analyses the extent to which policies and individual decisions may be shaped by normative beliefs, legal norms, and social norms. Sarah is also looking at modes of governance at the transnational level, with a particular emphasis on experimentalist governance in the context of the UN CRPD.
