<\/p>\n

Where did you do your undergrad? Law school? Other degrees?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Undergrad degrees in law and economics from the University of Tasmania. Masters and Doctorate from the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n

When did you come to UBC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

January 2010<\/p>\n

What courses will you be teaching at Allard in 2018-2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Law 221 (Criminal Law) and Law 300 (Jurisprudence and Critical Perspectives)<\/p>\n

What are your research interests?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My work to date has mostly been focused on privacy, security, and state surveillance. I am currently working on a project looking at whether Canada and the US are fulfilling their human rights obligations and the Canada-US border.<\/p>\n

What is your non-law dream job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Architect<\/p>\n

What is your favourite book or movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Great Gatsby (book) and Grosse Point Blank (movie)<\/p>\n

What is your favourite judicial decision and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mabo v Queensland (No 2). The High Court of Australia finally rejected the idea of terra nullius and acknowledged that there was indigenous law prior to British colonization. The decision – which recognised indigenous land rights in Australia – came down while I was at law school, and changed the way I thought about the role of law.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a UBC Campus hidden gem that more people should know about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nitobe Garden. Especially beautiful in mid-fall…<\/p>\n

Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to live in rural Japan and can still speak Japanese (although it gets rustier every year).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
