Bethany Butchers

Bethany's research interests span across several areas of law and policy such as public law, constitutional law, human rights law, self-determination, sovereignty and decolonisation. They are also interested in equity, diversity and social inclusion and as such, the laws that affect marginalised groups in society. Their latest research covers the intersection between the settler-colonial legal system and injustices experienced by First Nations Peoples. Specifically, this involves looking into reparations for intangible losses associated with land dispossession, under the native title system.
