Andra le Roux-Kemp

Dr. Andra le Roux-Kemp joined Lincoln Law School in 2019 as a Reader in Law. She completed her education and training in a number of disciplines (law, medical anthropology, applied ethics, and musicology) in South Africa and Germany, and is currently enrolled for a DBA in Higher Education Management at the University of Bath (UK). Her career in academia commenced in academic administration as the Academic Manager of the Faculty of Law, Stellenbosch University (South Africa). After completing her LLD degree, she taught at both the law faculties of Stellenbosch University and the University of the Western Cape (South Africa), before moving to Hong Kong where she was an Assistant Professor of Law at the City University of Hong Kong (2014-2019). Dr. le Roux-Kemp's research centres on the situatedness of law, and explores the theoretical and practical dynamics of legal change in its various spatial and temporal localities. Her research methodology can be described as comparative and transdisciplinary and is reflective of an overarching research ethos that celebrates the intrinsic complexity of law and legal systems, whilst also recognising the inevitable and reciprocal synergy of law with other knowledge spheres. Her primary fields of inquiry are Medical- and Health Law, as well as Criminal Justice (including Forensic Law). She was awarded a Y-rating as a Promising Young Researcher by the National Research Foundation of South Africa in 2016.
