Announcement: UKCLA Blog Editorial Team

Professor Mike Gordon is stepping down as one of the editors of the UK Constitutional Law Association Blog, having served in the role for the last six years. Se-shauna and I would like to thank Mike very much indeed both for bringing us on board and for his work on the blog both before and since we joined the editorial team.

Mike’s place on the editorial team will be taken by Dr Leah Trueblood. Leah joined the University of Surrey in 2025, having previously been Fellow and Tutor in Public Law at Worcester College, Oxford, and a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights. Leah is the author of Referendums as Representative Democracy (Hart, 2024) and researches the role of law in democratic orders.

With the change in the editorial team, we once again invite submissions to the blog. We aim to publish posts which analyse a wide range of constitutional topics, relating to issues across the whole of the United Kingdom. We welcome posts from those working in the field of UK constitutional law in general, covering current events, cases, legislation, parliamentary activity and committee reports, as well as posts derived from broader ongoing research projects. We are also happy to consider posts relating to international constitutional events where they have an impact on or implications for the UK constitution. We especially welcome submissions from those colleagues in groups who are otherwise underrepresented in the discipline, and those who have not previously published on the blog. We are always happy to discuss ideas for posts with Early-Career Researchers (or indeed, anyone else).

To make submissions or to discuss posts, please now contact: Se-shauna Wheatle (seshauna.wheatle@durham.ac.uk), Leah Trueblood (l.trueblood@surrey.ac.uk) and Paul Scott (paul.scott@glasgow.ac.uk).
