CV / Biography
Dr Eldridge’s research interests lie in land law and legal history. Her work includes publications on medieval English law, methods in legal history and legal theory, and English land law. She is particularly interested in understanding the legacies and connections between legal history and contemporary law, especially in the context of large reform projects in property law over the last 150 years. She is also a co-founder of the Selden’s Sister network for women in legal history, which produces research on women who have contributed to the discipline as well as promoting activities for modern day scholarship. Her teaching interests span private law and legal history generally, including comparative work. She has previously been an Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and a college lecturer at Corpus Christi College, Oxford and Christ Church, Oxford.
