Klaas Hendrik Eller is an Assistant Professor of European Private Law at the University of Amsterdam. His research interests are centered around the role of (private) law in social and technological change, particularly through an angle of economic law as well as human rights. His work investigates how questions of equality, participation and distribution in markets are structured through private law doctrines and entitlements. Klaas’s primary fields of study for this are global value chains, especially as foregrounded during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as urban housing markets. At the Edmond J. Safra Center at Harvard, he plans to pursue a project of access to housing in the private sphere. Klaas obtained his PhD from the University of Cologne (“The Constitution of Global Production”) and holds law degrees from Cologne and the Université de Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne). He passed the German bar exam (Referendariat) at the High Court of Berlin and was a foreign clerk at the Supreme Court of the State of Israel. After his PhD, he was a Minerva Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Tel Aviv University. Klaas is part of the Institute for Global Law and Policy at Harvard Law School’s multidisciplinary ‘Law and Global Production’ Working Group.
