Stefan Enchelmaier went to school in the Rhineland in Germany. Following National Service, he studied Law, Philosophy, and Latin at the universities of Cologne, Hamburg, and Edinburgh. He is a fully qualified German lawyer, and practiced mostly in private law. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Bonn with a thesis on European competition law, and his habilitation from the University of Munich with a thesis on comparative Anglo-German personal property law. His research focuses on the law of the internal market of the European Union, especially on the free movement of goods (including the customs union and taxation), the freedom to provide services, and the freedom of establishment for companies. Besides these, he has also done extensive research in comparative Anglo-German law of intangibles, that is, membership rights (shares in companies, and membership in partnerships), book debts (especially those arising from commercial contracts), and intellectual property rights (primarily considered as items of property). He also writes on competition law.
Nyasha Mukonoweshuro is in her first year reading for a MPhil in Development Studies as a Rhodes Scholar. She graduated from Loughborough University with first class honours. As the recipient of a Henry Fellowship, which supports one year of postgraduate study at Yale, she took classes in Yale’s Department of Political Science and Yale Law School. As an undergraduate she explored the value of narratives in reconciliation following violent conflict in post-colonial contexts. She is interested in studying approaches towards transitional justice, focusing especially on the role of typically marginalized actors such as women and young people. Following her studies, she plans to pursue a career in the legal sector, with a focus in international law.
