Lisa Ward is joined by Associate Professor Guy Charlton to discuss his personal research journey that led him to become an Associate Professor of law at UNE.
Guy is the Director of UNE’s First Peoples Rights and Law centre. He’s been exposed to policies and laws across various common law jurisdictions, having worked around the globe in places such as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan and the United States of America. He has worked with tribes, casinos, and on issues relating to hunting and fishing, mining, and extraterritorial jurisdiction throughout his impressive career.
While obtaining his PhD at the University of Auckland, Guy engaged with Australian law and the Australian experience, which led him to Australia. The issues confronting First Peoples and human rights in Australia was a particular area of interest for Guy.
Guy talks about the close interaction with local students and the community as one of the highlights of working within a regional university. He encourages academics and students to connect with people within and outside of the local area. Guy finds that connecting with other experts in fields of interest is one of the challenges of research for regionally based academics.
Guy has published journal articles and book chapters. He’s currently working on a book on usufructuary rights.
