Reseach projects that commenced in 2008
Professor Dan Hunter and Associate Professor Megan Richardson, along with Professor Julian Thomas from Swinburne University, have been awarded a three year ARC Discovery Grant, entitled Amateur Hour: The Sociolegal Construction of Amateur Media. The project articulates motivations, incentive and conditions for amateur content production.
Professor Adrienne Stone, a Law School Associate of the CMCL, has been awarded a four year ARC Discovery Grant. The project, Freedom of Expression in Democratic States: A New Theoretical Direction, aims to to develop a theory of freedom of expression that is free from the distorting influence of the United States jurisprudence and can explain and guide the courts in other democratic countries.
