Law Lecturer Lisa Ward returns for our final episode of the year to take you on a legal research journey of the law we’ve delved into in the first year of this podcast series.

 

In this episode, we hear from leading researchers in UNE’s Australian Centre for Agriculture and Law, Professor Paul Martin, Dr Andrew Lawson and Associate Professor Ian Hannam. They delve into a wide array of legal, policy and governance fields to solve a range of issues affecting agriculture, environment and soil health.

 

Our leading researchers on corporations: Professor Michael Adams and Associate Professor Mia Rahim delve into issues around corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.

 

Human rights issues are high on the agenda for Associate Professor Skye Charry and Dr Aileen Kennedy who cover a range of legal and regulatory issues from sexual harassment and discrimination in regional areas and intersex medical law. And, Dr Sharl Marimuthu introduces the International Journal of Regional, Rural and Remote Law and Policy and nutrition as a human right.

 

Leading researchers from our First Peoples Rights and Law Centre join us to discuss issues that go to the heart of Australia and First Nations Peoples in Australia and overseas. Associate Professor Guy Charlton, Marcelle Burns and Professor Charles Qu delve into and look for solutions to usufructuary rights, cultural heritage protections and indigenous corporations.

 

Leading researchers Associate Professor Cameron Moore provides an insight into tension between freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and natural resource competition; and, Dr Monique Cormier delves into Australia’s fraught relationship between nuclear ban treaties and our USA defence commitments.

 

Tune into this week’s episode of Law in the Bush to revisit UNE Law School’s researchers’ journeys into the latest law, and their dynamic research in this space as they solve the legal issues that matter.
