Dinesh Napal
TLS Student Fellow
Dinesh received his LLM in Law, Development and Globalization from SOAS University of London in 2018, and moved to Washington, DC in 2021 to begin undertaking the SJD Program at WCL. His doctoral research is focused on the implications of remote and autonomous weapons for the protection of civilians under the law of international armed conflict, and the importance of theory established by Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault and critical philosophers for understanding the development of this area of law. In Summer 2022, Dinesh supported the WCL TLS Program as a Research Assistant, working closely with Prem Trivedi and Paul Rosenzweig on the Addressing Harmful Content Online project and other TLS workstreams. He also works for the SJD Program as a Dean’s Fellow, acting as a point of contact for all SJD contacts requiring support and advice with issues relating to administrative aspects of the Program.
