Dr Jill Stuart is an academic based at the London School of Economics. Since March 2013 she has been Editor in Chief of the journal Space Policy. Space Policy is the pre-eminent academic journal on the topic, published since 1985.
Dr Stuart’s research focuses primarily on the politics, law, theory and governance of outer space. This ranges from the study of satellite regulations to the nature of state sovereignty for objects in space. She has secondary interests and expertise in the global commons more generally (the high seas and Antarctica). Her media work (radio, television, print) and publications reflect these interests, with recent activity out on for example the Virgin Galactic crash and the Rosetta comet landing. She is endorsed by the UK Home Office as an Exceptional Talent Migrant/ World Leader in her Field.
