...MoreChrista Roodt taught conflict of laws and comparative law at the University of South Africa before joining the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. She takes an active interest in methodological pluralism, management of diversity and legal integration. Her interest in conflict of laws cuts across theory, doctrine and method, and she has explored some of the implications of cultural heritage law for conflict of laws. Since the broad themes in her research lie at the intersection of legal systems, traditions, cultures and paradigms, she finds contemporary research topics related to culture and law appealing, and she has already published on issues that are of relevance to cultural planning in South Africa. In view of the hybrid nature of South African law and the secular nature of South African society based on a written Constitution, the starting point of much of her research is ‘trans-systemic’ to some extent.
