Professional biography

I hold the Chair in Law and Society at The Open University (OU) and serve as the OU's Lead for Tackling Inequalities Research Theme on the Open Societal Challenges (OSC) Programme.  

I am a legal and social scientist with over 20 years of experience spanning the public sector, governmental and non-governmental organisations and academia in five countries. I have held visiting professorships, fellowships and adjunct positions in France, Slovenia, the UK, Germany, Canada, Cambodia, Australia and New Zealand. My roles have included working in an advisory capacity to the New Zealand government on the development of modern slavery in supply/value chain legislation, non-governmental organisations and the private sector (multinationals and SMEs). Currently, I am the Chair of the Business and Human Rights Committee for Australian Lawyers for Human Rights (ALHR) and a Member of the International Law Association (ILA) Committee on Business and Human Rights as well as the Anti-Slavery Wales Forum (ASWF) Supply Chains and International Group led by LLywodraeth Cymru/Welsh Government. 

My academic experience comprises working at the University College London/UCL School of Public Policy (England), Aberystwyth University Dept of Int’l Politics (Wales) and law (and criminology/justice) schools in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Outside academia, my roles have included positions with the British House of Commons, the Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru), the Solicitors Regulation Authority (England & Wales) and a human rights litigation organisation based in Moscow (Russian Justice Initiative). 

For the past decade, I have collaborated closely with Cambodian academics, initially been involved in developing Cambodia's first Master’s Programme in Human Rights at Mekong Cambodian University and have since 2016 held an Adjunct Professorship at the Royal University of Law and Economics in Phnom Penh. 

Qualifications: PhD in Law (Wales), GradCertAP (in Higher Education)(Australia), DipIHL(Switzerland), LLB(Hons)(England), BScEcon(Hons)First Class (in Int'l Politics with Law)(Wales)

Research interests

My research interests encompass a wide range of areas and centre on themes at the intersection of law, public policy and ethics, with a particular focus on law as a tool for social behaviour change. This includes exploring theoretical and practical aspects of transitional justice in post-conflict societies, focusing on gender (in)equalities and economic and social rights; applying human rights principles to stakeholder management; enhancing a human rights-based approach to the ‘social good’; examining the ethicality of social engineering to affect social change; and developing an interdisciplinary multispecies justice framework. My work has contributed to discourses in public international law, including international humanitarian law, international criminal law and state responsibility, and in tort law, with high-impact research into (forced) migration, human trafficking and modern slavery. It has provided evidence-based insights for business and public health fields, informing policy and legislative developments in various countries and internationally.  

In my research, I have used doctrinal, qualitative and quantitative approaches and various methods including critical discourse analysis and systematic review (I am an accredited reviewer for the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence Synthesis Journal in evidence synthesis and healthcare research). My research is inter/transdisciplinary, cross-cultural and policy-oriented.

To attest to the interdisciplinary nature of my work, I have published across law, social sciences, business, communication studies and public health with leading journals and publishers. I have an extensive and diverse research portfolio with over 100 outputs for various audiences and presented – including as a keynote – at over 70 conferences, webinars and masterclasses worldwide. 

I have been awarded multiple nationally and internationally competitive research grants across a number of disciplines, including under the Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme (Universities Australia and The German Academic Exchange Service/DAAD), Australian Academy of the Humanities (in Asian studies) and Cambridge University International Law Fund.

I have acted as an expert assessor, reviewer and examiner across disciplines for leading journals, conferences, publication prizes, funding bodies and accreditation bodies in Australia, the UK, Poland, Cyprus and for the European Research Council (ERC).

Teaching interests

I have been involved in teaching over 20 modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels internationally and across schools of law, criminology and public policy, and as a guest lecturer on programmes in public health, gender, international politics, conflict studies and international marketing.

My teaching in law has covered subjects such as tort law, public international law, international human rights law, international humanitarian law, constitutional law, public law, contract law, business and employment law, business and human rights, Australian legal system, EU law, socio-legal research methods, and mooting.

I have used innovative strategies for teaching & learning, including online gaming and animations. In addition to having a degree in teaching in higher education, I have also completed specialist training in online education and have extensive experience in delivering blended learning via various learning management systems (LMSs).

I have judged at and coached student teams for various national and international mooting and negotiations competitions, including Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, Jean-Pictet International Competition, Telders International Law Moot Court Competition, Australian Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Mooting Competition and Asia Cup.

I have led to the successful completion and examined Theses (including PhDs) of over two dozen research students and acted as Mentor Supervisor to colleagues.

Impact and engagement

Over the past decade, my research and practice have focused primarily on human trafficking, modern slavery and the broader business and human rights agenda, including the intersections between corporate action and the environment for ethical sustainability transition. To that end, I have served on New Zealand's Modern Slavery Leadership Advisory Group (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) and currently hold the position of Chair of the Business and Human Rights Committee (100+ members) for Australian Lawyers for Human Rights. I am also a Member of the International Law Association Committee on Business and Human Rights, and the Anti-Slavery Wales Forum. Some prior appointments in this area include being a Stakeholder Selection Committee Member and Civil Society Observer at the UN General Assembly High-level Meeting on the Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons (2017) and a panellist on the OECD Peer Review Panel (2021) for the Australian National Contact Point/AusNCP under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. I'm also a member of The OU's Centre for Social and Sustainable Enterprise (CSSE) and the Global Business and Human Rights Scholars Association (BR2R). 

I have provided nearly 30 submissions to parliaments in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, as well as to international bodies such as the UN and the OECD, and acted as an expert before government committees and parliamentary inquiries. My scholarly and professional publications have been cited in reports and policy briefs by various parliamentary commissions and inter/non-governmental organisations, and featured in science and policy magazines.

My commentary has appeared in diverse national and international media outlets, including New Zealand national TV, CNN, The Guardian, Radio New Zealand (RNZ), ABC Radio (Australia) and LawyersWeekly. I also contributed to the 2019 Australian documentary series Modern Slavery, Food and Fashion Fail.
