Chris Dent

Chris Dent is a Professor at Murdoch University's School of Law and Criminology. His research explores the intersections of intellectual property law, historical jurisprudence, and societal structures through a Foucaultian lens.

Key themes include the evolution of legal registers in the 19th century, the role of film in shaping legal consciousness, and critiques of patent systems. Recent publications analyze law's entanglement with cultural phenomena like vampirism and martial arts.
