Biography
Dr Alice Krzanich joined the university in 2022 as a Lecturer in Law and Legal History. She teaches across a range of areas including law and gender, private law, and legal history. Alice is originally from New Zealand, where she worked as a lawyer before commencing postgraduate studies in the UK.
Alice researches in the field of legal history, with a particular interest in Scots private law and its historical interaction with socio-economic factors such as gender and class. She has researched the contract of service as it related to female domestic servants in nineteenth-century Scotland, which formed the basis of her doctoral research, and continues to have an interest in the history of employment law in Scotland.
Alice is also a co-investigator on a 4-year research project funded by the Leverhulme Trust titled 'A History of Hurt Feelings and the Law', which is an interdisciplinary study of legal redress for injured feelings from 1750 up until the present point and covers areas of law such as contract, nuisance, defamation and negligence, among others.
