John Haskell

I am currently in a research sabbatical from August 2022-2025. Previously, I have taught modules primariliy in administrative law, contracts, international law, jurisprudence, and legal tech. 

I am broadly interested in better understanding the cultural, doctrinal and practical intersections of western-based expert governance related to international law. In recent years, I have increasingly focused on blockchain technologies as an important part of global social coordination and related questions of how to respect privacy and support sustainable stability. 

I serve in a number of communities, such as the Association for the Promotion of Political Economy and the Law (APPEAL), the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE), and the Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP, Harvard Law School), At Manchester, I am a former co-director and currently an academic member of the Manchester International Law Centre and the Manchester Law and Technology Initiative. 

I am currently in a research sabbatical. I serve as a senior lecturer in law at the University of Manchester and junior faculty at the Harvard Law School Institute for Global Law and Policy. I am a former Fulbright Fellow and I have held academic positions at law schools in Europe, the UK and the US. Outside academia, I enjoy being a dad and negotiating entropy.
