º£½ÇÉçÇø Law School’s Professor Henrique Carvalho has been awarded a prestigious British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship for 2024-2025 for his research project on ‘Just Sentences: Narrating and Rewriting Criminal Law’s Aesthetic Injustice.’

The Mid-Career Fellowships are designed both to support outstanding individual researchers with excellent research proposals, and to promote public understanding and engagement with humanities and social sciences. Henrique’s project, which is due to start in September, will throw a critical light on sentencing remarks, examining them as cultural and aesthetic artefacts. He plans to engage both legal professionals and people with lived experience of criminal justice in reflecting on the complex relation between legal judgments and the dynamics of oppression.
