Siobhán Airey is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Post-doctoral Fellow at University College Dublin, currently based at the Transnational Institute, Amsterdam, where she researches the legal nature of the international governance of the financing of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in which a discourse of financialisation through new instruments and modes of public-private finance for development predominates. Her research interests lie at the nexus of legal theory and philosophy, critical international political economy and development, focusing on how law, emerging forms of trans- national governance, and ideas about development shape and reinforce the subjectiv- ities of states, markets and people in a neoliberal context. Her doctoral research, undertaken at the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa, was supported by a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Fellowship and she has been awarded a number of Canadian and international fellowships and awards to support her research. She has been a visiting scholar at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), at the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, Canberra, the European University Institute, Florence, and the Egmont Royal Institute for Inter- national Relations, Brussels.

Ntina Tzouvala is a Postdoctoral Fellow in International Law at Melbourne Law School. Prior to this post, Ntina was a lecturer in law at Durham Law School (UK), where she also completed her PhD thesis. Her research interests include the history and theory of international law, law and neoliberalism, and feminist legal theory. Her first monograph, entitled Capitalism as Civilisation: A History of International Law,is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. As part of the Laureate Fellowship Program team Ntina intends to analyse the impact of international law and international institutions on the Greek civil war. Being the first major incident in the wake of the Cold War, the Greek civil war posed pressing questions of intervention and inter- national legality in the immediate aftermath of the UN Charter. More broadly, she focuses on the role of international law in the construction of European peripheries, the political economy of interventionism, and their lasting impact for the region.
