Niamh Nic Shuibhne is Professor of EU Law at the University of Edinburgh. Her research examines substantive EU law from a constitutional perspective, with particular focus on principle-based analysis of free movement and Union citizenship. She was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship (2016-2019) to examine how protection of the commitment to equal treatment in EU law came to represent an ideological challenge for the Union: how it became a 'confounding' rather than founding EU value. Niamh is a Joint Editor of the Common Market Law Review. Her current research explores the integrity of the EU legal order as well as the concepts and principles that both constitute and distinguish it.
