Lora Izvorova is a Fellow at LSE Law School, where she teaches International Law, Jurisprudence, and Tort Law. She recently completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, for which she was awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship from the Cambridge Commonwealth, European and International Trust. Lora’s doctoral thesis examines the meaning of human dignity in Russia’s interpretations of the European Convention on Human Rights and the role of dignity’s contested nature as an obstacle to the Convention’s internalisation in the state.

Lora has presented her research at several conferences, including the 2023 Research Forum of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) in Tartu, Estonia. She is also a member of the ERC-funded research project Human Rights Nudge, led by Professor Veronika Fikfak. Previously, Lora has served as Co-Convenor of the Public International Law Discussion Group at the University of Cambridge, Co-Convenor of the Cambridge International Law Conference, General Editor of the Cambridge International Law Journal, and Managing Editor of the LSE Law Review.
