ProfessorDagmar Schiek

Dagmar Schiek is a Full Professor of EU Law and Labour Law at University College Dublin's (UCD) Sutherland School of Law, and directs the RIGHTS TO UNITE, a project which develops a new socio-legal theory of European integration, funded by an ERC Advanced Grant. She moved to UCD from University College Cork, where she held the Synott Family Chair for EU law and also served as Vice Dean for research for the school of law . She migrated to the UK in 2007 as a professor of EU Law (University of Leeds - 2007, Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) -2014), and remains a honorary professor at QUB school of law. In September 2011 she was awarded a Jean Monnet ad personam Chair for EU law, having been a professor of European Union Law from 2000 (University Carl von Ossietzky, Oldenburg), coming to this position from a background as comparative labour lawyer and anti-discrimination lawyer (in which capacity she also drafted gender equality laws for the German states of Berlin and Hessen - both with positive action too radical for today and thus revised backwards). She held visiting positions with the University of Maastricht (The Netherlands), London School of Economics (UK), Kiyv Mohyla Academy, School of Law (Ukraine), University of Canterbury (New Zealand), University Viadrina Frankfurt Oder (Germany) & Melbourne University (Australia).
