Current research<\/strong>
\nI am interested in the ideas of \u2018good judgment\u2019 and \u2018wisdom\u2019 particularly in relation to judicial decision-making. How do accepted ideas about judicial method (how judges decide) line up with social research (in business) about good decision-making process? Equally what does research on cultural cognition, implicit bias, motivated decision-making, and social context contribute to understanding the factors and processes involved in judicial decision-making? My research has a practical component too: how can this social research be explored by judges in judicial education settings? This focus area is closely aligned with a long-standing interest in curriculum design in law and judicial education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My teaching in the area of persons and property law has sparked an interest in ecology and law \u2013 the transformative potential of approaches grounded in Earth Jurisprudence and indigenous world views to address the profound the environmental, economic challenges in our times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work is informed by a \u2018law in context\u2019 approach and feminist legal studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
