  • A Cup of tea with Professor Virginia Mantouvalou
    Jul 1 2026
    In this episode, Professor Judy Stephenson is in conversation with Professor Virginia Mantouvalou, Professor of Human Rights and Labour Law, and Co-Director of the UCL Institute for Human Rights. They discuss the challenges that migrant workers face in knowing and upholding their rights, as well as the struggles that offenders have to overcome to find work on release. Prof Mantouvalou also speaks about her journey into human rights and labour law, and the writers who inspire her.

    Prof Mantouvalou co-edited Structural Injustice and the Law with Jonathan Wolff, FBA. This book, available as a free PDF from UCL Press, presents theoretical approaches and concrete examples to show how the concept of structural injustice can aid legal analysis, and how legal reform can, in practice, reduce or even eliminate some forms of structural injustice.
