Research Interest

I teach and research in Public International Law as stated; my main interest being exploring the question of how these areas can be accessed by and open to all. This means that I am interested in how the public participates within a treaty that may well have ongoing effects on their lives: e.g., do we have ongoing sites at which we can see how the treaty affects us (and others) – and how do we participate meaningfully within this context? I am also interested in narrative analysis of law and international discourse. My current project is considering the Asian Infrasturcture Investment Bank and the meaning of the terms "lean clean and green' Here is a presentation I did on the AIIB at a seminar organised by Flinders University and the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL)
