Dr Moncrieff is currently extending her research into the design of a ‘new social contract with business,’ examining (in a new article) regulatory priorities and underpinnings.

Wider research interests include legal theory, law and political economy, law and the environment, and law and the anthropocene. Dr Moncrieff is interested in interdisciplinary approaches to legal research and in law and the humanities.
