The project aims to develop ethical guidance on engaging research users and beneficiaries in health systems research priority-setting. As a matter of justice, research on health systems should generate knowledge that improves access and affordability of care for disadvantaged groups, but research questions often fail to reflect the major health system issues these groups face and findings are often not used in policy and practice. The project will develop ethical guidance on how research users and beneficiaries should be engaged in health systems research priority-setting and benchmarks for achieving such engagement. Ethical guidance is expected to facilitate a rise in research that improves health systems for disadvantaged groups.Read moreRead less

The common heritage of mankind, presently only a weakly-articulated principle of international law, postulates that some assets are valuable for all mankind and hence should be preserved for perpetuity. This project aims to provide the first systematic, unified moral framework for understanding this principle. It expects to analyse the ground and scope of cosmopolitan duties to protect assets belonging to this heritage, thereby contributing to important philosophical debates on intergenerational justice, cosmopolitanism, climate change, and humanitarian intervention. Its expected outcomes include practical guidance to policymakers and stakeholders in reshaping global governance around this principle.Read moreRead less

This project aims to critically examine the international community’s response to forced pregnancy and other crimes that violate reproductive rights, through a case study of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia. By analysing court documents and interviewing Tribunal lawyers, it expects to identify legal and practical barriers to prosecuting these crimes. It also seeks to provide the first comprehensive account of Khmer Rouge era reproductive crimes, to be made available on a public database that will shed light on this largely overlooked aspect of Cambodian history. Other expected outcomes include formulating new strategies for prosecuting reproductive crimes in international courts, thus contributing to the global push for gender justice.Read moreRead less

This project aims to produce the first account of Noongar letter writing in Western Australian archives from 1860 to 1960. The project’s significance lies in revealing this hidden activism in the archive, restoring silenced Noongar stories to the documents, advancing scholarly understanding, and promoting decolonisation of the Western Australian archive. Expected outcomes include an ethical Noongar research model and community research knowledge space developed with Noongar leaders. This new evidence of Noongar political agency could benefit sustainability for the emerging Noongar nation and advance equity and reconciliation for all citizens of the Australian settler nation and advocacy for Indigenous rights internationally.Read moreRead less
