Natalie Sedacca
I am Assistant Professor in Employment Law at Durham University. I research labour law and human rights, with a focus on domestic workers and other marginalised workers and issues of gender and migration.
My PhD, completed at University College London (UCL) in 2021, analysed the legal position of domestic workers and their frequent exclusion from protective labour law legislation, using human rights standards to criticise this exclusion. It included case studies on Chile and the UK with empirical work in each. My ongoing research projects include the rights of domestic workers in the ‘gig economy,’ and the human rights implications of the ‘hostile environment’ for migrant women.
I am a trustee for the migrant domestic worker NGO Kalayaan, and am on the Executive Committee of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights. I am the joint convenor for the Labour Law section of the Society of Legal Scholars, and a member of the Socio-Legal Studies Association.
Prior to joining Durham, I was a Lecturer in Law (Education and Research) at the University of Exeter, and have previously been a Teaching Fellow at UCL and Queen Mary University of London. Before entering academia, I spent nine years in legal practice (two years in training and seven years as a qualified solicitor) specialising in claims against the police and public authorities.
