Research Interests

Suzzie’s current research explores criminal law and justice related issues (broadly conceived) especially where there is an interest in developments in the Global South. She is specifically interested in victim and witness protection concerns where there is generally a gap in the theoretical and practical developments of the legal issues. This gap provides an innovative space for expanding scholarship and developing research that informs policy recommendations/initiatives.

Suzzie is also interested in research on international law and more specifically research on the pedagogy and teaching of international economic (trade) law from a third world/Global South perspective.
