Dr Stephanie Dropuljic

I joined the University of Exeter in September 2020 as a Lecturer in Law (Education and Research). My research interests are in criminal law and evidence, particularly legal history. I am interested in the development of criminal law doctrines; gender and the law; law reform in evidence and procedure; as well as interdisciplinary and comparative work in criminal law and evidence. I have published on the role of women in raising criminal actions, elections and governance in early modern Scotland, and on the classificatory rules regarding homicide.

I am the convenor of criminal evidence and teach criminal law. I am a Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). 

Prior to joining Exeter, I was a teaching assistant and completed my doctoral studies (as a receipiant of an Elphinstone Scholarship) at the University of Aberdeen. My doctoral thesis reconstructed the procedural and administrative history of Scotland's justiciary court from 1580-1650 with special reference to actions for homicide. I also hold an LLM by Research and an LLB (with commendation) from the University of Aberdeen. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with a History Major and Geography Minor at Queen's University, Canada.
