Biography
Professor Gita Gill has been an academic since 1993, formerly employed at India’s leading university, Faculty of Law, Delhi University, where she experienced a distinguished academic career finishing her tenure as a Reader in 2011. In August 2011 Professor Gill joined the School of Law, Northumbria University.
Professor Gill's research interest forms a coherent body reflecting the thematic issues: importance of access of justice in environmental matters, promotion of social justice agenda, SDGs, sustainability and good governance in Asia with a focus on India. In 2013-16, funded by a British Academy grant, she examined the casework and environmental jurisprudence of India's National Green Tribunal. Her research findings were published in Environmental Justice in India: The National Green Tribunal (2017, Routledge UK). In 2019, the book was published in Chinese.
Professor Gill's current British Academy Research Grant (2020-23) involves India based empirical research investigating the reach, effectiveness and impact of rehabilitation and resettlement due to compulsory land acquistion, involuntary displacement, and disregard of human rights.
