About Dylan
Dr. Dylan Lino is a Senior Lecturer in the TC Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland, where he is an affiliate of the Centre for Public, International and Comparative Law. He holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws with Honours from the University of New South Wales, a Master of Laws from Harvard University, and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Melbourne. In 2015, he served as a visiting researcher at Harvard University working on his doctoral research concerning Indigenous constitutional recognition. Lino's research centers on constitutional law and colonialism, especially in their historical and theoretical contexts. Much of his scholarship examines the rights and status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within Australia's settler constitutional order, alongside explorations of the imperial entanglements in British constitutional thought, particularly the contributions of Victorian jurist A.V. Dicey.
Lino authored the book Constitutional Recognition: First Peoples and the Australian Settler State (Federation Press, 2018), offering the first comprehensive study of Indigenous constitutional recognition in Australia. He co-authored Australian Public Law (2023) with Gabrielle Appleby, Megan Davis, and Alexander Reilly. Key journal articles include "Why a First Nations Voice Will Not Extinguish Indigenous Sovereignty" (2023), "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Law Reform and the Return of the States" (2022, with Dani Larkin, Harry Hobbs, and Amy Maguire), "Conservative Constitutional Rights in 1940s Australia" (2022), and "The Australian Constitution as Symbol" (2020). His influential work has shaped debates on Indigenous constitutional recognition through parliamentary submissions and government inquiries. Awards include the Paul Bourke Award for Early Career Research (Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, 2020), the 2018 Wedderburn Prize for the best article in the Modern Law Review, and the 2017 Holt Prize for his monograph. Lino provided legal advice to the Uluru Dialogue, supervises PhD theses on Indigenous-state relations and cultural heritage, and contributes to the ARC LIEF project Digitising the Drafting of the Australian Constitution (2023-2025).
