Dr Oxana Golynker

My PhD thesis Ubiquitous Citizens of Europe: the paradigm of partial migration was published as a monograph in 2006. In 2010 I was a visiting Research Fellow at the Robert Schuman Center of Advanced Studies, European University, Florence funded by the British Academy. My academic articles were published in Common Market Law Review, the European Law Review, King’s College Law Journal, European Journal of Social Security, Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law and by the Conversation. My work was cited by in CJEU cases Vatsouras & Koupatantze and Dano in Opinions by Advocate General Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer and Advocate General Wathelet. In 2020 I was a guest editor of the Special Issue of European Journal of Social Security on the Future of Coordination of Social Security in the European Union. 

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, interested in developing innovative methods of teaching law. I am currently Director of LLM/PGDip Employment Law Distance Learning Programme.

My research interests lie in the European Union law, in particular, EU citizenship, social solidarity, free movement of persons, and coordination of social security schemes in the European Union. Another area of my research is employment law, in particular, family-friendly policy in the UK.
