University of Birmingham campus

Once thought of as the exemplar of stability, the UK Constitution now seems to be in permacrisis, with the fitness for purpose of the UK’s constitutional safeguards being called into doubt. This workshop will ask what this means for the teaching of public law, looking at issues such as how we should handle politically controversial issues, how we can ensure students find our modules relevant and engaging, and what role theory should play in our syllabuses.
