And we are off! VU @CowenCentre hosting Colloquium of Trust. Starting with a discussion of 'objects' of trust - a great way to explore what this concept means #trust2020
We start with Valerie Braithwaite reflecting on what trust is and why it matters.
Great talk that has left me ruminating on the nature of trust.
Is 'trust' a good thing? Is the concept of 'trust' relevant in the absence of its potential for abuse?
Next we have psychologist Jane Goodman-Delahunty on the 'measurement' of trust. She is particularly interested in trust in juries and what this can tell us about them.
As a legal theorist, it is great to get these different perspectives on how this can be done.
And now time for the virtual morning tea! For those following at home, here is the delivery next to my 'trust object':
Currently having a great debating with @ananianwelsh@Natural_Justice, Christopher Roper and Anne Wallace about the role of court ritual and formality in shaping judicial decision-making and acceptance.
How do we maintain these elements when we shift online?
I great discussion currently happening regarding the nature of the relationship between 'trust' and leadership
Great discussion from Leon Mann on this idea, and is triggering animated chat about how this relates to the current context
This was a great day. A model of how to do the online conference thing - honestly I think it was better than a f2f conference for this type of thing

A 🧵 on managing expectations in #academia#highereducation (from my own painfully learnt experiences)
#AcademicTwitter, I accidently deleted my earlier popular pinned thread. I thought it was a good excuse to repost, but with some further reflections (older/wiser?)
These are tips that I wish I had learnt earlier - I hope they help a few of you struggling with the many demands of academic life in long, dragging #pandemic where academic life is increasingly under acute pressure and everything feels extra hard
In the article we examine the pivots to remote hearings our courts have undertaken, and probe the issues of public law and good judicial administration that arise with this shift. We also flag the opportunities for future reform presented by this profound cultural shift
The changes in judicial practices in the last 6 months have been profound - and there are as many challenges ahead as there are opportunities that have been created. This is a needed conversation for all those with an interest in judicial studies, practice and administration.
THREAD ON HIGHER ED: This wonderful article by Lynda Ng is a must read for anyone working in (or interested in) higher education in Australia. It exposes the fundamental misconceptions that have plauged the corporatisation of our Universites.
I look forward to hearing @AmeliaLoughland response to this - what a great thing for the work of young graduate to invite such a detailed response from leaders in empirical judicial studies t
This type of scholarship is still new in Australia, and we are still probing out the uses and limits of it. However, like all legal scholarship it should be discursive. The debate is enriched by disagreement and counter analysis
There appear to be methodological differences between the two studies- though this needs to be unpacked. It seems that most of the concern with loughland piece is that the sample was unrepresentative and that propositions went beyond the data.
Great #proudson moment today. My Dad is appearing in the @HighCourtofAus in the important native title case NLC v Quall - concerning native title, improper delegation and representative governance.
This cases has been a long fight for important principles of properly engaging traditional owners in decisions directly affecting their right.
