The new associate member from the University of Khartoum: African dimensions

Abstract

At an early stage in his career William Twining went to teach in Africa, going first to Khartoum and then Dar es Salaam. In both places he participated in lively debates about the future of legal education, and the experience encouraged him to take forward adventurous interdisciplinary work. On his return to the United Kingdom this background strengthened his commitment to avoid all forms of parochialism in legal thought and instead to develop global perspectives on law.
