Profile

Dr Urquiza Haas is a Lecturer in Law (Core) and an interdisciplinary legal scholar whose research draws on socio-legal studies to explore the regulation of medicines, drugs and healthcare practices at the edge of legality.

She is currently Co-Investigator for the 6-year project . This international research project aims to understand what misinformation means in the context of healthcare regulation, how lines of regulatory tolerance and intervention are drawn, through which regulatory techniques, and to what effect.

Before joining Lancaster Law School, Dr Urquiza was a Research Associate at the University of Kent for the Wellcome Trust project "Law, knowledge and the making of 'modern healthcare,'" led by Professor Emilie Cloatre and funded by the Wellcome Investigator Award (2017-2022). During that time, she was also a Visiting Fellow at the Law, Health and Justice Centre at the University of Technology Sydney in 2017.

She was also awarded the Witteveen Memorial Fellowship in Law and Humanities in 2016. Her postdoctoral research project explored the complexities around asylum claims, drawing on literary studies and feminist philosophy.

Her doctoral research, funded by Kent Law School's Studentship (2010-2013), contested traditional concepts and practices in criminal law through an interdisciplinary analysis of vulnerability and gender, applied to the case of women who act as drug mules and have been sentenced for drug importation offences in England and Wales.

Before her academic career, she worked as a freelance writer and researcher in the NGO and news media sectors, including the International Press Institute (IPI), and in projects funded through Harm Reduction International and the Centre for Human Rights and Drug Policy at Essex University.
