Law Faculty: The Speaker Series
The Speaker Series is a monthly seminar to showcase emerging and important research in diverse areas of Law in Ireland and internationally. Talks will cover wide-ranging topics like data regulation, AI innovation in pharmaceuticals, ground-breaking research on 'Blue Rights', and many others. The Law Faculty hopes these seminars will inspire and motivate our learners and the Griffith community!
Geopolitical Dimensions of Digital Regulation
Dr. Katie Nolan, assistant lecturer in Law at TU Dublin, was the first guest speaker in our Speakers Series. Dr Katie's research focused on digital governance, data protection and fundamental rights in EU Law.
AI and Pharmaceutical Innovation: A New Era for EU Competition Law and Policy
Our second guest speaker was Dr. Mina Hosseini, a researcher, lecturer, lawyer, consultant, and mentor with expertise in health law, competition law, pharmaceutical law, and AI in healthcare. Dr. Mina spoke about the advanced treatments AI is benefiting in the pharmaceutical industry, while some research has raised concerns about leaking sensitive information. While there is a new era forming towards a patient-centred and forward-thinking pharmaceutical sector, competition law enforcement is too slow and not effective enough, Dr. Mina noted from her research presentation.
Corporate DEI in Trump's America - Challenges for Directors
Dr Philip Gavin, Assistant Lecturer in Law in the School of Social Sciences, Law & Education at TU Dublin, was our third guest for our increasingly popular Speakers Series.
Dr. Philip spoke about how the people in charge understand a company's goals and priorities. Based on his research, he examined how this understanding affects the freedom and independence of the company's directors when making decisions.
Unveiling the Emerging Frontier of Blue Rights
Our final guest speaker for our monthly Law Faculty Speakers Series was Dr. Ramat Tobi Abudu. Dr Ramat is a foreign-trained lawyer and Griffith College lecturer researching international law.
Her research is relevant in shaping discussions on sustainable maritime security, specifically for protecting people at sea.
