Dr Aurelia Guo

I am a Lecturer in Law at Goldsmiths, where I teach criminal law, evidence and justice. I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. In 2025-26, I am also a LHub Visitor at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies.

I am the author of World of Interiors (Divided, 2022) and publish and present my work in a wide range of academic and art institutional settings. I am currently working on a project exploring immigration identification photography, Chinese exclusion laws, and the emergence of federal borders in turn-of-the-century California.

Before joining Goldsmiths, I led socio-legal modules and taught widely across the LLB at City, University of London and London South Bank University. I completed a fully-funded PhD in Law at City, University of London, a First Class Honours thesis in English Literature at the University of Sydney, and previously studied law, literature and international relations at the Australian National University.
