Emma Bunting received the Roger Crane Medal for her academic performance and contribution to the life of the Law School and the Department of Law Prize for Academic Excellence in International Human Rights Law. Here she tells us about her work with the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre and about studying the International Human Rights Law module.

“It is heartening that my contribution has been seen and felt by the Queen Mary community. My involvement with the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre has been especially rewarding. As part of the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre’s SPITE (Sharing and Publishing Images to Embarrass) Project, I designed and delivered workshops to students in local secondary schools to educate them on the law and the issues surrounding the sharing of intimate images.

As I aspire to become a compassionate, formidable lawyer, I feel motivated to think critically about the law. Specifically, in my International Human Rights Law module, I was given the freedom to write a dissertation on the problematic ‘fitness to plead’ law in my home country of Jamaica, examining it through a human rights framework. I feel invested in finding a way to reform this law and so to have my work recognised by the Law Department has made this endeavour more meaningful.”

A huge congratulations to this year’s prize winners:
