About Anthony
Mr. Anthony Austin serves as an Associate Lecturer in the TC Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland. He earned his Bachelor of Laws from Queensland University of Technology in 1994, followed by a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master of Laws (coursework) from the same university in 1997. Before entering academia, Austin practiced law for eight years, specializing in commercial and intellectual property matters. His teaching career includes positions at Griffith University teaching business law, and at the University of the South Pacific, where he taught and coordinated Contract Law 1 and 2 at the Emalus Campus in Port Vila, Vanuatu, in 2014, and delivered online courses from 2014 to 2015. At UQ, he lectures in courses such as Business and Corporate Law (LAWS7023) and Law of Contract II (LAWS1702), focusing on business law for non-law students and contract law principles.
Austin's research and academic interests center on innovative methods of teaching law, particularly business law to non-legal audiences, contracts law, and intellectual property law issues. He also has ongoing interests in legal, historical, social, and political matters pertaining to the South Pacific region, as well as law student education in that area. His scholarly output, primarily from his time associated with projects at Queensland University of Technology, addresses key challenges in e-research and open scholarship. Key publications include "Legal Strategies for Streamlining Collaboration in an e-Research World" (2008), "Academic Authorship, Publishing Agreements and Open Access: Survey Results" (2008), "Understanding Open Access in the Academic Environment: A Guide for Authors" (2008), "Practical Data Management: A Legal and Policy Guide," "Copyright Guide for Research Students: What you need to know about copyright before depositing your electronic thesis in an online repository," and works on data sharing, collaborative agreements, digital repositories, and legal aspects of Web 2.0 activities.
