Biography

Bridget is a Senior Lecturer with the School of Law where her research focuses on contemporary human rights challenges.  Bridget completed her PhD at Monash University on the topic of the human right to a healthy environment and climate change, and she has published widely on various issues related to environmental human rights.  Her book, Environmental Human Rights and Climate Change, was published in 2018.

Bridget’s current research explores legal protections of the environmental rights of future generations, particularly in the context of climate change.  Together with colleagues from the Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Bridget is also collaborating on a project to develop a human rights-based approach to elder law.  Their book, The Human Rights of Older Persons, will be published by Springer in 2020 (with Kelly Purser and Kirsty Mackie).
