Jane Hogan

I am an early career researcher in the final stage of my PhD in law at UTS  and will complete my thesis for submission by the end of this year.  I am also an experienced IP lawyer specialising in patent litigation, an experienced information and knowledge manager with experience in legal technology design and an experienced organisational leader.  After many years in legal practice and in management roles in commercial law firms, I am pursuing an academic career in law in order to contribute more broadly to a fair and just society. I intend to do that through my teaching and research. 

My research focuses on:
1. the substantive content of laws designed to regulate  digital technologies including digital rights and responsibilities, digital regulation and the design and regulation of legal technologies; and
2. the role of law in regulating society to ensure fair and just outcomes. 

It is my second research area that draws me to DEAL as I see law as a part of the social infrastructure that can either enable or disable a fair and just society and that can therefore enable or disable a revised form of socially responsible economics such as doughnut economics.  I have joined this community to meet, therefore, like minded legal researchers to discuss a legal research agenda that can identify what changes are needed to implement doughnut economics through the legal infrastructure.
