Tamsin Paige: social perceptions of law through the lens of pop fiction

Tamsin Paige is a Senior Lecturer with Deakin Law School and periodically consults for the UN Office on Drugs and Crime in relation to Maritime Crime. Her work is interdisciplinary in nature, using qualitative sociological methods to analyse international law.

Her work has examined (among other things) Somali piracy, UN Security Council decision making, and conflict based sexual violence. Tamsin is currently writing a book on how pop culture representations of law shape and reflect how society views and understands concepts of law and justice and their place in society.

From zombies as an allegory for terrorism to modern day privateers on the cyber seas, Tamsin specialises in International Law, Sociolegal Theory, Ethics, Law and Literature and Queer Theory. Join us for an interesting evening that will make you look at your fiction collection through a new lens.
