Ingrid Weinberg, Postgraduate Fellow

Ingrid is a PhD candidate in law at Downing College, University of Cambridge, where she is the recipient of the Squire Postgraduate Studentship in Law.

Her research explores the right to freedom of expression and the regulation of antisemitic speech as a species of hate speech in the contemporary world, with a comparative focus on the United States and England and Wales, among other countries. She is particularly interested in the contexts of protest, campus life and academic freedom, and online spaces dominated by the populist and so-called ‘new media’.

Ingrid holds a Master of Laws with Distinction in International Dispute Resolution from King’s College London, where she was the recipient of the School of Law Prizes for the Best Dissertation and the Best Student. She also holds a Master of Laws from Columbia Law School, where she graduated as a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar, as well as a Bachelor of Laws with First Class Honours from the Melbourne Law School and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne.

Prior to commencing her PhD at the University of Cambridge, Ingrid worked as a commercial litigator at global firms in Australia and the United Kingdom, where she specialised in the defence of mass tort claims. She also spent a year and a half as an Associate (Judicial Clerk) to a Justice of the Federal Court of Australia.
