Associate Professor Ghena Krayem provides deep insights into her latest book, Understanding Sharia Processes – Women’s Experience of Family Disputes, explaining the difference between a religious and a civil law divorce and why an Islamic woman might want both, the different types of religious divorce, and the process for obtaining a religious divorce, considering recent improvements to make the process more female-friendly and suggesting further reforms. Fascinating.

In this episode of the Books, Books, Books Law School Series, Professor Svetiev provides an up-to-date account of the evolution of competition law enforcement in the European Union, arguing that recent developments may be explained by a model of experimentalist governance based on learning from difference and learning from experience. He considers the extent to which an experimentalist governance model is either feasible or desirable, with detailed reference to recent cases and developments.

In this week’s episode of the law school series, Nicole speaks with Dr Stacie Strong, Associate Professor, about her recent book, Legal Reasoning Across Commercial Disputes – Comparing Judicial and Arbitral Analyses¸ in which she considers the following three issues:
- Is legal reasoning in the judicial setting different from legal reasoning in the setting of commercial arbitration?
- Is legal reasoning in the context of international commercial arbitration different from that used in domestic commercial arbitration?
- Does legal reasoning in the commercial context differ between countries with a common law system and those with a civil law system?
Dr Strong conducted an extensive survey of judges and arbitrators, as well as interviews and an analysis of judicial decisions and arbitral awards, and arrived at some interesting and at times surprising results.

Here she discusses how choosing the right life partner, her beloved Gordon McCarthy, enabled her to live a stimulating, purposeful life, with a brilliant career spanning the public, private, corporate and not-for-profit sectors. Her advice to women offered key roles? “Say yes and work it out later,” – just as a man would do. Gold.

“I am first and foremost a First Nations woman. I am that before I am a lawyer”.
In this wide-ranging conversation with Teela Reid, Sydney Law School’s first First Nations Lawyer in Residence, she discusses her remarkable career as lawyer, activist and storyteller – the life-changing decision to move from teaching to law, her determination to make life better for the next generation of First Nations kids, her involvement in the Regional Dialogues which led to the Uluru Statement From the Heart and her tireless advocacy for the First Nations Voice to Parliament, which she sees as the beginning of a crucial reckoning between Black and white Australia. She also talks about the need for non-Indigenous Australians to show up and to do the work.
A fascinating insight into one of the thought leaders of her generation, who is determined to use her role at the Law School to “make sure we continue to create space for other First Nations students and lawyers”.

When popular broadcaster Indira Naidoo lost her youngest sister to suicide she was plunged into a darkness like no other. Heartbroken and wracked with grief and guilt, her immediate response upon hearing the news was to flee to Sydney’s Botanic Gardens and seek solace between a towering Moreton Bay tree that she came to think of as her own.
“The Space Between the Stars” is her achingly beautiful account of how that tree and a rediscovery of many other aspects of nature – from birds to weeds to stars to puddles - enabled her draw on her reserves of resilience, to heal and to find joy once again.

In her sixteenth novel, Violeta, Isabel Allende has created an unforgettable heroine much like herself – fiercely independent, funny, passionate, devoted to her children and a powerful advocate for women’s rights and feminism. Like her other books, Violeta is a brilliant blend of the personal with the political – Violeta’s almost-one hundred years of life are book-ended by two pandemics – the Spanish Flu and Covid – and her life is shaped by the tumultuous events of the twentieth century – especially World War Two and the huge political upheaval in Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s.
In this rich conversation Isabel discusses love, passion, growing old and politics – in particular, how feminists in America can retain hope and keep up the fight in the face of the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v Wade.

In her latest book, “Self, Others and the State – Relations of Criminal Responsibility”, Professor Loughnan reassesses the rise to prominence of criminal responsibility within the Australian criminal law in the twentieth century and reconsiders its significance within the criminal law. In this episode Nicole and Professor Loughnan discuss the central thesis of her book – that criminal responsibility is significant because of the unique role it plays in organising key sets of relations – between individuals, other and the state – as relations of responsibility. To illustrate her argument, they talk about “the gendered self”, focusing on women’s responsibility for crime, the offence of consorting and government responses to allegations of institutional child abuse.

What might a reckoning between Black and white Australia look like? Many of the brilliant contributors to Griffith Review 76, “Acts of Reckoning”, such as Professor Megan Davis, leading scholar Teela Reid and Senator Patrick Dodson, argue that it starts with all of us embracing the generous invitation from Indigenous people in the Uluru Statement From the Heart to walk together towards a better future, one that begins with a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament, then moves towards Treaty and Truth-telling.
Others write powerfully about the need for fundamental changes to the criminal justice system which incarcerates so many young Indigenous people, and the importance of owning our violent past. In this conversation Ashley Hay speaks with power and conviction of what we can all do to make change happen.

Emily and Nicole discuss how non-binding instruments or ‘soft law’ have been received in international humanitarian law by looking at specific examples, such as the ICRC Study into Customary International Humanitarian Law. Have they been adopted in state practice? Are they referred to by international and national courts and tribunals? They consider potential benefits, such as their potential to contribute in a positive way to the development and clarification of the law, but also the possible pitfalls – lack of accountability and transparency and bias. And what legal status, if any, do they have?

“When women speak of war they say nothing or almost nothing of what we are used to reading and hearing about”.
These words, by Nobel-Prize-winning writer Svetlana Alexievich inspired acclaimed writer and cultural historian Maria Tumarkin to create an extraordinary multi-disciplinary event called “When Women Speak of War: Artists reckon With Wars Declared and Hidden”, which will have its world premiere on Thursday 28 April at the National Theatre in Melbourne. The performance will feature Ukrainian-born writers, musicians and performers alongside a diverse line-up of brilliant artists.
The aim, Maria says, is “To stir up, honour, cliché-bust and transport.” Conceived before the war in Ukraine as part of the Festival of Jewish Art and Music (FOJAM) to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, the performance takes on particular resonance in light of the war in Maria’s beloved homeland. Part of the proceeds of ticket sales will go to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief Fund.
There are still ticket available, or you can sign up to watch online – here is the link https://www.fojam.com/

Much-loved writer Anita Heiss’s latest novelBila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray, meaning “River of Dreams”, tells the story of Wagadhanny, a young Indigenous woman in the mid-eighteenth century, whose life is controlled by the Bradleys, the white family she works for. They force her to leave behind her beloved family in Gundagai and move with them to Wagga Wagga. A rich, powerful story of her struggle to assert herself and of the importance to her and her people of kinship and of respect for and connection to the land. Heiss uses the Wiradjuri language throughout the book and in the book’s title as a reminder to readers that there is a first language in this country – and it is not English.

Ashley Hay discusses edition 72 of the Griffith Review, States of Mind.
Ashley Hay’s aim with States of Mind was to give people different ways to have their own conversations about states of mind, stimulated by brilliant, thought-provoking essays, memoir and fiction. Edition 72 tackles subjects including the chronic neglect of mental healthcare in Australia, from the perspectives of both practitioners and patients, incorporating Indigenous learning into mainstream Australian psychology, the intersection between race and mental illness and the human rights of the mentally ill. This edition will enrich and confront, and provoke some important conversations around mental health in Australia.
