Biographical details

My professional life has been characterised by moving between organisations whose principal focus is human rights policy, advocacy and scholarship, and seeking a greater integration between these dimensions of human rights work. Since joining the University of Sydney in 2005, I have had the privilege of establishing two postgraduate human rights programs aimed at forging precisely this type of integration between the best of scholarship and effective human rights practice. The second, the Masters of Human Rights and Democratisation (Asia Pacific Program) was established with a 1.5 million euro grant from the European Commission and is now in its sixth year with ongoing funding from the European Union and now forming part of the Global Campus of Human Rights programs.

Since 2012, I have been leading a multi-disciplinary international team seeking to identify and test new approaches to preventing torture in organisations where it is systematic and entrenched. Our team has sought to better understand the root causes of torture, particularly those residing in the cultures and processes of security organisations themselves. This project, also funded by the European Union has been working with police and police and military in Sri Lanka and Nepal in partnership with universities in those two countries.

Through these two programs and a range of others in the field of human rights, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has now built a highly innovative human rights program seeking to strengthen and deepen the contribution that humanities and social science scholars can make in the field of human rights.

Prior to joining the academy, I worked as a policy advisor and speechwriter to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner and the Race Discrimination Commissioner in the Australian Human rights Commission.

Research interests

The fundamental research question that motivates all of my specific research endeavours is, ‘What are the principles and practices required to construct socially just political communities in the context of diversity (religious, racial, economic, ethnic and political) and in the light of historical violations?’ In pursuit of answers to this question, my specific research interests include:

  • Dealing with the past: an exploration of how political communities deal with past violations, and in particular the role of symbolic and ritual politics such as apologies;
  • Religion and human rights: A consideration of the relationship between religious norms concerning justice and public ethics and secular norms, including human rights norms, including questions about how the normative framings and languages of religious worldviews and communities can contribute to or impede he pursuit of justice across different cultural and political spaces.
  • Human rights education: An interrogation of the methodologies and objectives of human rights education, how education is thought to contribute to respect for human rights and action research on creative pedagogies.
  • Cultural and social dimensions of human rights: How do social, economic and cultural practices and dynamics impede or support respect for human rights and what types of interventions can address the cultural and social dynamics that perpetuate abuse?
  • The transmission of suffering: How do narratives and images of suffering motivate people to act in pursuit of justice and what role does suffering have in the construction of the idea of future justice?
  • Hannah Arendt: I have an ongoing engagement wit the work on Hannah Arendt and am currently continuing my work on how her work can contribute to our thinking about human rights and the religious underpinnings of her thought.
