Sarah Wilson is a Senior Lecturer in Law at York Law School, University of York in the UK. She qualified in Law at Cardiff Law School and then commenced studies in Modern British History gaining a MA (History) and PhD (History) before undertaking posts in numerous UK universities. Her key research interests lie in Financial Crime and Financial Regulation and Trust Law, and modern British history. The latter forms the basis of Sarah's 'Law and History' combination of traditional Legal History and Modern British History which examines interactions between law and society, continuity and change. 

Sarah has published widely in Financial Crime and the sphere of Financial Law and Regulation broadly (which includes Banking Law and Regulation more specifically), and she is also the author of Todd and Wilson's Textbook on Trusts and Equity (OUP, 2015). Her monograph The Origins of Modern Financial Crime: Historical foundations and current problems in Britain (Abingdon: Routledge (Criminology), 2014) does provide a multi-disciplinary analysis of financial crime from c 1830 to the present, but it places equal if not greater emphasis on encouraging greater utilisation of history and historical methodology for research and teaching in Law.

Sarah's interest in 'Law and History' is deeply embedded in her approaches to teaching. More latterly this has been pursued through a dedicated undergraduate 'Law and History' module, which has now been adapted for the TPG curriculum. However, a 'Law and History' approach has always been an aspect of her teaching within the wide sweep of Financial Law and Business Law more broadly, as well as in Equity and Trusts. She is passionate about promoting the benefits of greater integration of history into the undergraduate law curriculum, reflecting both the vocational value of the undergraduate Law degree, and also the popularity of this undergraduate programme for students wishing to pursue a variety of careers.
