Dr Arushi Garg

Prior to taking up the Assistant Professorship at Cambridge, Arushi held a lectureship at the University of Sheffield, and a series of fixed-term teaching positions at the University of Oxford, including a Stipendiary Lectureship in Law at St Hilda’s College. Before that, she read for the DPhil, MPhil and BCL at the University of Oxford (Hertford and Magdalen) as a Rhodes Scholar and a Mann Senior Scholar. Arushi completed her undergraduate degree in Law at NALSAR University and graduated with several gold medals and a mention on the Vice Chancellor’s merit list.

Arushi has published her research in a range of peer-reviewed journals, including Social and Legal Studies, the International Journal of Constitutional Law and the Socio-Legal Review. Her journal article on ‘deceptive sex’ cases [(2019) 28(6) Social & Legal Studies 737] won a research award from the Asian Law and Society Association. She is currently completing a manuscript based on her work in relation to rape and criminal justice, to be published as part of OUP’s Clarendon Studies in Criminology series. Her research projects have received generous support through internal and external grant funding – among others, from the British Society of Criminology.

Arushi is on the editorial board of the Indian Law Review and the Criminal Law Forum and on the Board of Trustees for the Asian Law and Society Association. She has served as a peer reviewer for a range of regional and international journals, book publishers, and research councils, including the Economic and Social Research Council.
