Jo Helme

I am a Stipendiary Lecturer at Trinity and DPhil student in Labour Law. I hold an MPhil in Development Studies from Christ’s College, Cambridge, as well as a First Class Law and European Law degree from the Universities of Nottingham and Vienna. Prior to starting the DPhil, I worked at Partners Employment Lawyers in London and at the Worker’s Activities branch of the International Labour Organisation. I have just completed a Visiting Researcher stay at the University of Buenos Aires.

I teach tutorials in Constitutional Law for first-year undergraduate law students at Trinity College, and I also teach tutorials in Employment Law for third-year undergraduate law students at Oxford.

My research focuses on how the principle of ‘adapting work to the worker’ has evolved historically and how it should be interpreted in today’s workplace.
