Staff Profile
Robert Hargreaves
Lecturer
I joined York Business School in January 2023. Before this I had worked at both Sheffield Hallam and Arden Universities. Before entering academia, I held various senior management roles within business.
I hold a first-class honours degree (LLB (Hons)) from the University of Huddersfield and a Masters degree (LLM Res) from Sheffield Hallam University. My LLM Res was an extensive piece of research that examined the development of minimum wage legislation in the UK. I am currently undertaking a PhD, examining the therapeutic and anti-therapeutic effects of the law and policies on refugee integration.
My legal interests are broad and include the fields of employment law, constitutional law, and therapeutic jurisprudence.
I am a reviewer for the European Journal of Legal Studies, and a reviewer for the International Journal of Clinical Legal Education. I am a member of the Society of Legal Scholars and the Association of Law Teachers.
