DR DOMINIQUE DALLA-POZZA
ACSS LEAD ACADEMIC CONSULTANT & SENIOR LECTURER AT THE ANU COLLEGE OF LAW
Dom’s PhD focused on the process by which the Australian Parliament enacted counter-terrorism legislation between 2001 and 2006. Her primary research now deals with the process by which Australian National Security Law is made. She is particularly interested in the work done by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security.
In 2015 she presented work on the way in which the Australian Parliament made counter-terrorism law in the post-Howard era at a workshop on Deliberative Constitutionalism at the Faculty of Laws University College London. In early 2020 Dom was a Visiting Researcher at the Center on National Security and the Law at Georgetown doing some research on oversight of national security oversight mechanisms .
A distinctive feature of the approach Dom takes to legislative process is her use of ideas drawn from deliberative democratic theory as a core theme in her work. One of her main aims as a researcher is to continue to bring together ideas from the disciplines of political science and law to provide a richer understanding of the law- making process.
