Linnéa Wegerstad

In May 2012 Alex Sharpe, Professor of Law at Keele University, UK, visited Lund University where she participated in a series of seminars and workshops organised around a central motif in her work: the legal outsider.

City of Dallas. The author continues in the introduction by providing …
