We are delighted to celebrate the release of a collection of essays on the influential work of LSE Department of Law's Professor Nicola Lacey, published by Oxford University Press and entitled On Crime, Society, and Responsibility in the work of Nicola Lacey (OUP, 2021).
When a colleague suggested to LSE Law alumna Iyiola Solanke that, as the first of Nicola Lacey’s doctoral students to be appointed to a chair, it was her responsibility to organise and edit Niki’s festschrift, both she and Niki cavilled at the thought of being part of such a white masculine tradition. But Iyiola went on thinking about it; and on discovering that when Mike Taggart assessed the genre a few years ago there existed not a single volume celebrating a woman common law academic, she decided that something needed to be done. The resulting splendid volume, its cover featuring a striking painting by former visiting Professor Ngaire Naffine, has just been published by OUP. Edited by Iyiola and including contributions from not only Ngaire but also colleagues, alumni/ae and former colleagues and visitors Andrew Ashworth, Susanne Baer, David Garland, Emily Jackson, Arlie Loughnan and Lucia Zedner, not to mention other longstanding friends of the department, it is testament as much to the work of LSE Law as to that of its subject.
