Samira Mathias is a lawyer from India specializing in public international law, human rights, and legal philosophy. She earned her previous law degrees at Yale Law School (LLM), the University of Oxford (BCL), and Gujarat National Law University (BA LLB). Prior to Notre Dame, Samira was a Yale Robina Human Rights Fellow at the European Court of Human Rights.

I am interested in the intersection of international law and human rights law, with moral, political, and legal philosophy.
