John Woodlock, PhD Candidate at the Sociology of Law Department, Lund University

John Woodlock's research focuses on the field of European Union (EU) civil aviation and the profession and professionalism of licensed aircraft maintenance engineers in Europe. In particular, his PhD project explores, from a socio-legal perspective, the complexity and interplay between legal norms and legal forms, civil aviation organisational structures and professional norms in relation to the broader notions of risk, safety and legal accountability.

The external discussant is Kenneth Arne Pettersen Gould, University of Stavanger.

John Woodlock holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology of Law, a Bachelor of Science in Gender Studies, and a Master of Science in Global Studies (Major in Sociology of Law). He has studied at Lund University and Malmö University in Sweden. Woodlock has also studied at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) in the Basque Country, Spain. Before his academic studies, he had an international professional background in aviation maintenance.
