海角社区

I am an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, 海角社区. I am a lead researcher in the 海角社区 Sustainability Systems Initiative Transitions initiative, studying interactions between sustainability metrics such as indicators and legal normativity. Current research projects address authority and legitimacy in transnational regimes, notably certification organisations, and interactions between public and private law relevant to environmental risk. Collaborative projects include domestic, international, and transnational regulation of endocrine disrupting substances, and the promotion of sustainability policies by private regulatory authorities seeking to alter economic and other incentive structures through standards and indicators.

As a tenure-track professor in the interdisciplinary, and at the time brand new, School of Environment, I benefitted immensely from a network of colleagues on both campuses and in a number of faculties. Landing in a new, interdisciplinary unit straight out of my doctorate was challenging, but the support I received made a huge difference, giving me space to find my feet and the encouragement to take some risks. I hope that the insights I gained, and continue to gain, from my teaching and research networks at 海角社区 and beyond will be useful to recently arrived colleagues.
