Morag Goodwin has held the Chair in Global Law and Development at Tilburg Law School, the Netherlands, since 2015. She holds an MA. Hons (1st) from the University of Edinburgh in history; an LL.M. (dist.) in international law from the University of Nottingham; and received her Ph.D. in Law from the European University Institute (2006).

Morag is a founder and series editor of the CUP Global Law book series and was programme director of the European Joint Doctorate in Law and Development (EDOLAD) – a collaborative programme between six law schools. Her work focuses on questions of exclusion, inclusion and participation – and on the impact of law in creating exclusion, structuring inclusion and in providing space for both participation and resistance. She is particularly interested in how global (development) narratives affect these dynamics. She has recently published a monograph examining questions of the exclusion and (self-)identity of Rwanda's Twa in relation to global narratives of indigeneity, conservationism and development, the data for which was collected during a four-year Dutch Research Council (NWO) funded project.

Morag teaches a variety of courses at both bachelor and master level. These include introductory courses to international law and to global law; specialized seminars on global trade and development and broad-sweep interdisciplinary courses on global perspectives on law. She has been a visiting professor at FGV Direito, Sao Paolo; Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto; IDC School of Law, Tel Aviv; and Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota.
