Welcome!

To all those reading this I am David Gibbs; I am a Lecturer in Law at the University of East Anglia.

I created this blog as a general out-let of ideas for my research, as well as keeping those interested up-to-date on my research and general interests.

I completed my PhD thesis at the University of East Anglia in 2014. The thesis was recommended for the award of PhD with no corrections. My external examiner was Prof. Simon Deakin (Cambridge) and internal examiner was Prof. Morten Hviid.
My PhD research centred on directors' duties and company law. The thesis was titled 'Non-Executive Self-Interest: Fiduciary Duties and Corporate Governance'. It was a doctrinal and empirical study on whether self-interest was suitably controlled amongst non-executive directors.

My supervisors were Prof. Mathias Siems, Prof. Duncan Sheehan, Dr. Sara Connolly and Dr. Rob Heywood

Tomorrow is the Annual Learning and Teaching Conference 2014 held at the University of Hertfordshire. It is organised by the Learning and Teaching Institute at the University. The conference brochure can be viewed here. I will be presenting a poster on student engagement with feedback to help form some initial ideas on the significant ways students engage with feedback.

Successful Defence

So my greatest fears were not realised. I successfully defended my thesis with no corrections over the Easter break and will graduate in the Summer. The thesis was examined by Prof. Simon Deakin as external and Prof. Morten Hviid as internal. The big question now is what next? Whatever, happens you will be sure to read about it here!
