- This 248-page monograph undertakes a rigorous, comprehensive examination of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights concerning sexuality and gender identity. Involving seven years of research, it analyses over 100 cases. It offers an extended account of international human rights law through a queer lens, using queer theory to explore the legal construction of sexual and gender identities. In addition to employing doctrinal research on EU law, the book involved transnational and historical analysis of marriage regulation, and a wide-ranging account of queer jurisprudence that proposes to overcome the tension between queer theory and liberal human rights law.
