Regulating and countering structural inequality on digital platforms. This project aims to find legal, ethical, technical, and commercial opportunities to counter inequality online. It uses machine learning and custom data collection tools to create new knowledge about how digital platforms—including search engines, social media, peer economy, and news platforms—can help to tackle misogyny, racism, and other forms of structural discrimination.

This project aims to find legal, ethical, technical, and commercial opportunities to counter inequality online. It uses machine learning and custom data collection tools to create new knowledge about how digital platforms—including search engines, social media, peer economy, and news platforms—can help to tackle misogyny, racism, and other forms of structural discrimination. It uses this knowledge to investigate the extent to which private sector digital platforms can be expected to monitor and regulate the actions of their users, what responsibilities they have to avoid contributing to discrimination, hatred, intolerance and abuse, and how the law should develop to ensure that our digital environment is more equal and fair.

Regulation and governance for Indigenous welfare. This project aims to study three welfare delivery programs that particularly impact upon Indigenous peoples.

This project aims to study three welfare delivery programs that particularly impact upon Indigenous peoples. Indigenous welfare recipients living in remote Australia are subject to regulatory frameworks that make social security payments contingent on meeting conditions, with significant penalties for non-compliance with program requirements. The goal is to examine the regulation and governance that underpin these three programs. The intended outcome is to identify social security principles and policies that are likely to work best in improving the welfare of Indigenous peoples while benefiting the delivery of social security in Australia and beyond.Read moreRead less

This project aims to produce a comparative analysis of redress for institutional abuse, understand survivors' aspirations for justice, and map theoretical developments in the field. Institutional abuse of children is a social and legal problem in many nations. The major responses to this problem are public inquiries, criminal prosecution, civil litigation and redress schemes. The project intends to gather data on 35 redress schemes in 13 jurisdictions, building on previous research on redress in Australia and Canada. The intended outcome is an authoritative and comprehensive research platform for developing redress policies and practices that can inform and guide Australian society in a compassionate and cohesive direction.Read moreRead less
