An International Focus for Newest Full-Time Faculty
In the fall of 2025, two esteemed educators joined Stetson Law’s faculty as tenure-track professors. Both new hires demonstrate the College of Law’s commitment to growing its already robust offerings in the area of international law, as each brings a unique and impressive set of scholarship and experience to our law school.
Dagmar Rita Myslinska: Immigration Law
Stetson Law has hired noted immigration law scholar Dagmar Rita Myslinska as a tenure-track associate professor.
She joins Stetson from Creighton University School of Law. Her extensive resume includes being the current chair-elect of the Association of American Law Schools’ European Law Section, a lecturer and director of teaching and learning at Goldsmiths, University of London, and a member of the board of trustees of the Migrants’ Rights Network.
Professor Myslinska’s research focuses on immigration and equality rights, using qualitative studies to analyze anti-discrimination and immigration policies in the US, UK, EU, and Japan. She is currently working on a handbook of comparative international law.
Klara Van der Ploeg: International Law & D.R.
Joining Stetson Law from the University of Nottingham School of Law, Associate Professor Klara Polackova Van der Ploeg specializes in international law and international trade regulation.
Prior to joining Stetson, she led the Business, Trade and Human Rights Unit (Human Rights Law Centre) at the University of Nottingham, and she served as the Judicial Assistant to Judge Sir Christopher Greenwood at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Her research explores structural questions surrounding international law and global governance, focusing on methods in which international law regulates non-state entities in addressing global problems. Her monograph Regulating Collective Nonstate Entities in International Law: Rights and Obligations is forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
Other faculty members that have joined the Stetson faculty this fall include two Bruce R. Jacob Visiting Assistant Professors as well as four visiting professors and one returning professor emerita.
