Teach part of Issues in Justice Administration Teaches about empirical research

Prof Easteal has a strong commitment to legal education derived from a multi-disciplinary background. Her aim in teaching is for students to acquire the intellectual tools and self-confidence to become independent and lifelong learners through actively questioning conventional wisdom and assumptions about the neutrality of key legal constructs like reasonable and relevant and by reflecting on the complex ties between society and the law.

Prof Easteal's achievements in learning and teaching were recognised in 2008 with an Australian Learning and Teaching Council National Teaching Award and in 2007 with a VC Distinction Award and a Carrick Citation for effective research-led learning approaches that engage law students in independent and critical inquiry into the complex ties between law, society and access to justice.

Research

Dr Easteal investigates the context of the law and how social structures, language, and values affect the substance and practice of the law, specifically in the areas of criminal law, family law, discrimination law, employment law and immigration law. She has built up a strong publication record; strength is evident in terms of quantity, international reach and impact/quality. Important aspects of her research are its applicability to real life issues such as law reform and its nexus with her teaching.

Dr Easteal's work is multidisciplinary: Law/Sociolegal Studies, Criminology, Women's Studies, Ethnic Studies, Anthropology, Sociology. She uses a range of empirical methodologies from these disciplines including cross-case comparison, in-depth interviews and surveys.
