Welcome to Legal Intersections Research

The Legal Intersections Research Centre undertakes research of an interdisciplinary nature. Approaching research from an interdisciplinary perspective involves breaking down the boundaries of traditional disciplines, particularly that of law, in the interests of producing fresh insights and knowledges.  Our methodologies assume that knowledge about the law is inseparable from a range of sometimes competing or conflicting discourses such as philosophy, religion, history, feminism and critical theory, art, theatre, media, cultural studies, sociology, government and politics. A key undercurrent in our research is law's relationship with vulnerability and pluralism.

The Legal Intersections Research Centre is organised around six themes:

• Regulation of speech and communication
• Democracy, constitutions and human rights
• Law and popular cultures
• Crime and society
• The construction and regulation of subjects
• Comparative Asian law
