Freedom and inclusion in the modern university. This project aims to understand conflicts in modern universities over intellectual freedom and inclusiveness. Universities are important social institutions whose core values must include a commitment to intellectual freedom and to including people from different backgrounds and with different views. These values have increasingly come into tension, causing anger, division and even violence in some parts of the world.

Universities are important social institutions whose core values must include a commitment to intellectual freedom and to including people from different backgrounds and with different views. These values have increasingly come into tension, causing anger, division and even violence in some parts of the world. This project aims to develop a strong theoretical understanding of these conflicts in modern universities and will create a set of practical principles to help universities prevent or manage these conflicts. This project is expected to strengthen universities’ capacities to benefit Australian society and students and staff.Read moreRead less
Genomic data sharing: issues in law, research ethics and society. This project aims to provide recommendations for best practice regulation and governance of genomic data sharing in Australia. Sharing of genomic data is essential to biomedical research and clinical practice. Scenarios will be used to map legal and quasi legal facilitators issues including barriers to sharing, and to assess their role in promoting public trust, using evidence-based processes and law reform methodology.

This project aims to provide recommendations for best practice regulation and governance of genomic data sharing in Australia. Sharing of genomic data is essential to biomedical research and clinical practice. Scenarios will be used to map legal and quasi legal facilitators issues including barriers to sharing, and to assess their role in promoting public trust, using evidence-based processes and law reform methodology. Developing more effective and efficient regulation of genomic data sharing will promote public trust and encourage broader data sharing, facilitating scientific progress and delivery of precision medicine.Read moreRead less

Restoring public trust in charities: reforming governance and enforcement. This project aims to undertake a comprehensive and comparative investigation of governance and enforcement in the charitable sector in Australia. Public trust in the charitable sector has been damaged by governance failures, particularly in religious contexts, exacerbated by the sector’s complex and incoherent governance system.

This project aims to undertake a comprehensive and comparative investigation of governance and enforcement in the charitable sector in Australia. Public trust in the charitable sector has been damaged by governance failures, particularly in religious contexts, exacerbated by the sector’s complex and incoherent governance system. As yet, there has been limited academic consideration or empirical analysis of the effectiveness of the governance and regulatory framework of the sector or concrete reform proposals. This project aims to undertake comparative analysis and empirical research of these aspects, and to develop proposals for effective law and policy reform. This is expected to strengthen and maximise the sector’s capacity to contribute to the social and economic life in Australia.Read moreRead less
