Join us for the 2026 Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Hub Oration with Professor John Harrington (Cardiff University).

Global health is shifting and “sovereignty” is now at the centre of the debate. In the wake of COVID‑19, countries across the Global South are asserting “health sovereignty” after facing vaccine hoarding, discriminatory travel rules, and declining support from traditional partners.

This lecture explores how sovereignty is reshaping global health debates, from data‑sharing and bilateral agreements to questions of autonomy, solidarity, and self‑determination. Drawing on insights from Kwame Nkrumah, Professor Harrington examines how reclaiming sovereignty could redefine the future of global health.

📅 24 September 2026
🕔 5 – 7.30pm
📍 Law Link Theatre, ANU Law School

Light refreshments will be provided from 5pm, with the lecture commencing from 6pm.

What happens when you take corporate law beyond the classroom and into Tokyo?

ANU Law students Bita Mahani, William Maxwell and Chloe Law recently joined the University of Tokyo Summer School to explore Global Trends in Corporate Governance and Mergers and Acquisitions.

From learning about comparative corporate regulation to building international friendships, the experience offered a unique global perspective on corporate law — and, in their words, “memories to last a lifetime”.

What does it take to leave a lasting mark on a law school? For Professor Pauline Ridge, it has been a career defined not only by academic excellence, but also by integrity, mentorship and genuine care for her students and colleagues.

The ANU Law School recently gathered to celebrate Pauline’s lasting contribution to our community and the many lives she has influenced through her teaching, scholarship and generosity.

From joining ANU as a law student to becoming a highly respected scholar and mentor, Pauline has been an integral part of The Australian National University for almost four decades.

As she takes up the role of Emerita Professor, we celebrate her remarkable journey and the legacy she leaves at ANU Law.

As the new semester begins, we’re looking back at one of the most memorable moments from last semester: the Annual Kirby Lecture, held this April.⁣
⁣
“No state should be able to claim proprietary title over a power capable of placing humanity as a whole at risk,” says Professor Devika Hovell.⁣
⁣
Professor Hovell has developed a constructive account of disarmament for the contemporary world order: unequal armament is legitimate only where it is publicly justified, institutionally constrained, and directed toward reducing domination rather than reproducing dependency.⁣

The full lecture is available to watch online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvS7o2cVqDI
