Anna Wallerman Ghavanini
Senior Lecturer
Department of LawAbout Anna Wallerman Ghavanini
Anna Wallerman Ghavanini is an associate professor of EU Law at the University of Gothenburg and a senior lecturer in procedural law. She holds an LL D from the University of Gothenburg (2015), and has previously held positions at the European University Institute and the University of Zurich as well as visiting professorships at the universities of Bern and Vienna. She is currently a visiting professor at the Digital Science Centre, University of Innsbruck.
Anna's research interests lie at the crossroads of EU, procedural, and constitutional law. She is particularly interested in judicial decision-making and the role of courts and judges in modern democratic society and in legal empirical research methods. She is currently a PI of the research project Separation of powers in 21st century Europe (www.separope.eu), where she leads a research team working on the role of the judicial power in the EU constitutional architecture. She is also engaged in several interdisciplinary research collaborations including the IUROPA project (www.iuropa.pol.gu.se), of which she is a co-coordinator. She has recently concluded the research project As You Sow...? The Influence of the Referring Court in the Preliminary Reference Procedure, funded by the Max Weber Programme and the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation. A video presentation of the main results of that project is available here.
Anna is assistant head of department with responsibility for research education and chair of the procedural law research group. She teaches procedural and EU law at undergraduate and postgraduate level and supervises master and PhD students in the same fields.
