Research information:

My career has taken me from boardrooms to classrooms and from the Prime Minister's Office (1993-1997) to the Kennedy School at Harvard (Senior Fellow, Centre of Business and Government, 2002-2004).

I'm a lawyer who is comfortable discussing ethical challenges ( including whistleblowing) governance issues and public policy matters whether within government or the private sector. I'm also a founding member of the Taskforce for Women and Enterprise.

I also research the area of corporate responsibility and that I am currently designing a new law course entitled: The new International Corporate Reality: The Business of Human Rights.
