Julie Evans

Julie Evans lives in Melbourne with her husband and two sons. She has a Masters Degree in Women's Studies (La Trobe) and a PhD in History (University of Melbourne). She lectures in the Department of Criminology at the University of Melbourne where she co-ordinates the Honours programme and teaches Law, Race and Indigenous Peoples, a graduate course that examines the law's relation to Indigenous peoples in response to colonialism from 1492 to the present. Her current research theorises and demonstrates the intersections between international and domestic law in the formative stages of colonial rule when dispossession was paramount in Britain's settler colonies. Through development of 'The race and colonialism forum' she hopes to extend understandings of the historico-legal dimensions of current issues facing Indigenous peoples in settler states throughout the broader community.
