Senthorun is a Reader in Human Rights Law at Manchester Law School. He is passionate about glitter, pop culture, and social justice. Sen’s academic and activist work takes an intersectional approach to examining the disparate ways law deals with the lives of queer minorities. His new book, The Emotions of LGBT Rights and Reforms: Repairing Law (Edinburgh University Press, 2025), explores how emotions organise conflicts over, and the possibilities of, LGBT rights in different jurisdictions. He is currently a Creative Content Editor of Feminist Legal Studies and the Editorial Lead of “Queer Law” in Palgrave’s Socio-Legal Studies book series. He is the former Chair of Amnesty International UK. Sen previously worked as a Lecturer in Law at Keele University, a Scholar in Residence at New York University’s Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, and a Churchill Fellow. He has also worked as the Senior Policy Advisor for the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby in Sydney, Australia.
