Ms Sarah S. Boxer holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School (2026) and an LL.M. from the University of Cambridge (2025). Her research focuses on international cultural heritage law, particularly illicit trafficking in cultural objects and the relationship between international instruments and domestic enforcement frameworks.
She is currently undertaking a fellowship hosted by the Antiquities Coalition, with research based at UNIDROIT in Rome. Her fellowship is supported by the Harvard Law School Public Service Venture Fund and the Kennedy, Knox, and Sheldon Traveling Fellowships. At UNIDROIT, she works with the cultural property team on matters concerning the implementation and broader influence of the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention, as well as the Orphan Objects Project, which addresses cultural objects of uncertain provenance. Her work with the Antiquities Coalition examines cultural property import controls, including Regulation (EU) 2019/880 and the U.S. Cultural Property Implementation Act.
Contribution
Ms Boxer hopes to contribute to UCAP’s research and dissemination activities through case notes and comparative legal analysis. Her proposed research includes a comparative study of Italy’s implementation and application of Regulation (EU) 2019/880 and U.S. approaches to cultural property import regulation, including the CPIA and bilateral agreements. She also looks forward to opportunities to contribute to UCAP’s Library and participate in seminars and workshops concerning the practical application of international cultural property law.
