Law scholar briefs Parliament
Associate Professor Vivienne Brand recently represented the Society of Corporate Law Scholars in a private briefing with the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services at Parliament House in Canberra.
The committee has responsibilities in relation to the regulation of corporations and invited the society to brief it as the committee starts its work in the 47th Parliament. The society is the representative body of corporate law academics in Australasia and Associate Professor Brand is its current president.
International recognition for groundwater expert
Flinders University Adjunct Professor Peter Dillon, working with the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training in the College of Science and Engineering, has received international recognition through winning the 2022 National Ground Water Association’s M. King Hubbert Award, for special service to the groundwater industry. The former co-chair of the IAH-MAR Commission will be presented with the award during 2022 NGWA Groundwater Week, taking place in Las Vegas from 6-8 December. More information about the award is featured on the WGA website.
Flinders hosts inspirational lecture
In early September, Flinders University played host to the 2022 Claire Corani Women in Physics lecture, run by the Women in Physics group of the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP). This year’s lecture, organised by Professor Sarah Harmer, from the College of Science and Engineering, was presented by Associate Professor Katarina Miljkovic from Curtin University. Associate Professor Miljkovic took attendees on a journey around the solar system and followed a meteorite’s collision with earth in her presentation Impacts! Rocks from Space Colliding with Planets.
High school students from Nazareth College, Kadina Harvest School, Hamilton Secondary College, Pembroke College and Willunga High School were able to join the presentation in person and online. Watch the lecture online here: https://video.flinders.edu.au/events20/22/ClaireCoraniMemorialLecture.cfm
