I am a Professor in the ANU Law School. I teach International Human Rights Law, and convene all non-HDR student thesis and capstone research projects. A Senior Fellow in the HEA scheme, for much of the 10 years since re-joining academia in 2015 I convened a very large first-year compulsory law course. Author of ‘Human Rights and Populism’
(2024), I am now part of a 2022-2027 ARC Discovery Project studying international law and governance in an era of populism. I was a 2021-2022 Fulbright Fellow (corporate reporting on modern slavery risks in supply chains). A college Associate Dean for six years (2017-2022), I have experience on various university-level working groups, most recently on reviewing our mental health strategy and on our Socially Responsible Investment policy. I am keen to serve the ANU community (and co-represent CLGP) on Academic Board by contributing to its work on developing and upholding standards, consistent with our core values and with realising our community’s demands for greater participation and dialogue in governance design and implementation. This is especially so at this time of our overall introspection on governance and change management, as well as increased external regulatory and other scrutiny.
