Carta Editorial

Professor Atina Krajewska is Professor of Law at the University of Birmingham, UK. She holds degrees from the University of Wrocław, Poland and Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. She has worked at different universities in the UK since 2008. Her work brings together expertise from (global) health law, transnational legal theory, sociology of law and sociology of professions. As such, her work exemplifies the Sociology of Health Law - a new area of academic research she has been developing in recent years. Within these broad parameters, she uses sexual and reproductive health law as a case study to examine wider social and legal phenomena. Currently, her research focuses on the development of Polish abortion legislation, investigating the relationship between political transitions, legal reforms and the development of the medical profession. She is also leading a project on “Building Reproductive Justice with Indigenous Women in Northeast Brazil”. She collaborates with a number of civil society organizations and NGOs concerned with improving sexual and reproductive rights in different countries around the world.
