Professor Easteal has a strong commitment to innovative legal education derived from a multi-disciplinary background. Her aim in teaching is for those who attend to acquire the intellectual tools and self-confidence to become independent and lifelong learners through actively questioning conventional wisdom and assumptions about the neutrality of key legal constructs like ‘reasonable’ and ‘relevant’ and by reflecting on the complex ties between society and the law. Her innovative teaching has been recognised nationally and at the university level. She has also been recognised in awards as an excellent PhD supervisor.
