On 22 October 2025, the Teaching and Learning seminar at the University of Technology Sydney Law School was a shared presentation by a number of authors of Becoming a Climate Conscious Lawyer: Climate Change and the Australian Legal System.
Description: A national community of practice is emerging around the idea of mainstreaming climate change in the Australian legal curriculum. Building on last year’s teaching and learning seminar by Professor Nicole Graham, this seminar will be an opportunity to discuss how and why climate change mainstreaming is taking place at UTS Law.
The following UTS academics shared their experiences:
Marcelle Burns – First Nations, Native Title and climate change
Beth Goldblatt – Foundations of Law and Gender and Law
Costa Avgoustinos – Constitutional Law
Frances Flanagan – Ethics Law and Justice and Jurisprudence
