      • Biography &
        Qualifications

        Dr Joelle Grogan is a Senior Lecturer in law at Middlesex University London. Her primary areas of research are UK and European Union law, with a current focus on the Brexit process from the perspective of the Rule of Law, Parliamentary Sovereignty and Democratic Legitimacy. Her work on the constitutional implications of the EU Withdrawal Act 2018, and its potential impact on rights in the UK, is available to read online on the LSE Brexit Blog, and to listen to on podcast from the Law Society. 

        Prior to her appointment at Middlesex University, Joelle was elected a Scholar of Trinity College Dublin. She graduated with Distinction from the BCL at Oxford University. She completed her doctoral research on the rule of law in the European Union at Oriel College, Oxford University. Her research assessed EU compliance with the rule of law, with case study analysis of the EU as an actor in international trade negotiations (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Investor-State Dispute Mechanism), EU measures in corporate taxation (State Aid, Advanced Tax Rulings, and the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base), and the European Arrest Warrant.
         
        Joelle has been involved in large-scale and international research projects at Middlesex University, and Oxford University. Working with Professor Sionaidh Douglas-Scott, she completed two reports on EU citizenship rights in the UK and Ireland, as part of a research project funded by the European Commission. Under the leadership of Professor Laurent Pech, she is part of the H2020 RECONNECT project, ‘Reconciling Europe with it Citizens through Democracy and the Rule of Law’, led by the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, and involving 18 international partners. Her work has been cited by the Financial Times, Channel 4, Sky News, the New Statesman and Buzzfeed, and has been presented throughout the UK, Europe and North America, and in China.

        Joelle is also the creator of Sticky Tricky Law, an online legal education project aiming to make complex legal concepts related to Brexit, the EU and the UK legal system accessible and understandable to the wider public. Follow it on Twitter and Facebook.

      • Learning &
        Teaching Interests

        Joelle Grogan is the Module Leader for EU Law courses, including the LLB Modules European Union Law and Advanced Issues in EU Law and Politics; and the BA EU Internal Market Law. She additionally has taught on the LLB Criminal Law and Equality law courses.

        Joelle created and runs StickyTrickyLaw, an online education project on Facebook and Twitter, making complex concepts in law (particularly in the context of Brexit) accessible to a wide audience through humorous, hand-drawn sticky notes accompanied by simplified explanations.

        With Lughaidh Kerin, Joelle piloted Bridge the Gap at Middlesex University in Autumn 2017. Bridge the Gap is a transformative programme designed to bridge the skills gap between secondary level and University. Students develop a range of hard and soft skills critical to addressing the difficulties they experience.

        Joelle based the design of BTG on her experiences while working for access to education schemes, and as a graduate tutor and admissions interviewer at Oxford University. The course advances critical-thinking and creative problem-solving skills, as well as addressing issues relating to stress-management, conflict resolution, and self-confidence. The course prepares students to work independently and with their peers for a successful three years at University and beyond. This scheme continued in September 2018.
