Karen Katiyo’s research interests include comparative constitutionalism, comparative politics, and postcolonial theory.
Her current research extends her doctoral work on postcolonial constitutionalism in southern Africa. It contributes to growing scholarship that highlights the gap between constitutional form and the substantive realisation of constitutionalism, particularly in non-Western contexts.
Karen holds a PhD in International Relations and an MLitt in Legal & Constitutional Studies from the University of St Andrews, and an LLB (Hons) from Anglia Ruskin University.
