Matthew Harding joined the Law School as a lecturer in 2005.
Matthew graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1998 with first class honours degrees in law and in arts. He also holds a Bachelor of Civil Law degree (with distinction) and a D.Phil from the University of Oxford. During his time as a postgraduate student in Oxford, Matthew held Chevening and Clarendon Fund Scholarships and, during 2002-3, a research fellowship funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation. His D.Phil thesis was on the moral foundations of fiduciary law. Prior to undertaking postgraduate study, Matthew also worked as a solicitor for Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks (now Allens) in Melbourne.
Matthew has taught Torts and the Process of Law, History and Philosophy of Law, Property II - Acquisitions and Dealings, Equity and Trusts, and Trusts in the LL.B programme, and Trusts and Legal Theory in the JD programme. His published work deals mostly with issues in moral philosophy, fiduciary law, equitable property, land title registration, the doctrine of precedent, and the law of charity. He is currently writing a book, Charity Law and the Liberal State, which will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2014. This project has been funded by an ARC Discovery Grant for 2010-2012, awarded to Matthew along with his colleagues Professor Ann O'Connell and Professor Miranda Stewart. In addition, at present Matthew is writing with Dr Robin Hickey of the University of Durham on the treatment of gifts in equity.
