- This book, an output from a fully-funded one-year Leverhulme Research Fellowship, combines in-depth ‘black letter’ legal research, oral history fieldwork, and sociological analysis. The legal research (in Part 1) provides an exhaustive analysis of ECHR case law. The nineteen oral histories (in Part 2) of applicants, legal professionals, and campaigners, are unique. And the analysis (in Part 3) provides the first sociological insight into this aspect of legal ‘activism’. The book is the definitive history of the role that the ECHR has played in eradicating discrimination and establishing legal equality on the grounds of sexual orientation in the UK.
