Belinda is a lawyer and PhD researcher on the Vulnerable State project. She has worked at the University of Warwick’s School of Law since 2019 as an Associate Tutor and Research Assistant. During this time, she has been involved in numerous socio-legal projects related to decolonisation, human rights, migration, global health, and criminal law. Belinda also has over a decade of experience working in the private and public legal sectors in Sydney, Australia. She completed her Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts (Ancient History) degrees at the University of New England in Australia (2018, First Class Honours).
