About this blog

In this blog you can find my research on constitutional and legal issues in Asia

I am based at the Faculty of Law & Justice, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney. My research focuses on law and society, comparative constitutional law, and law and religion. Key themes of my research include constitutionalism in the Global South, constitution-making and the role of constitutions in authoritarian regimes.

At UNSW, I lead the Asia Law & Policy Forum. I co-direct the project on Constitutionalism in the Global South with Theunis Roux. From 2019-2021, I was Associate Dean Research.

I am the past president of the Asian Studies Association of Australia (ASAA), the peak academic body for Asian Studies in Australia. You can find more about my expertise on Indonesian Law here.

I support and contribute to initiatives on constitutional reform and legal education, particularly in Asia. I have collaborated with a variety of international and local organisations in the region.

In Australia and overseas, I teach in the areas of Asian legal systems, law and society, comparative constitutional law, constitutionalism in the Global South, constitution-making, and Indonesian law.
