Joanne Stagg

Joanne Stagg serves as a Lecturer at Griffith Law School, Griffith University, and participates in the Arts Education and Law Group. Previously affiliated with the Law Futures Centre (2013-2024), her interdisciplinary scholarship bridges legal theory, education, and social philosophy to examine power structures in institutional frameworks.

Her research portfolio includes:

• Curriculum Theory and Higher Education pedagogy
• Gender construction through legal-health systems (e.g., Pap smear registers)
• Queer perspectives in international adjudication
• Women's roles in peace and security frameworks
• Social and political philosophy applications to civil law

Recent publications reveal a trajectory toward increasingly influential work in international legal spaces, with forthcoming Oxford University Press chapters on women/peace issues (2026) and established contributions to queer legal theory. Her scholarship consistently challenges normative assumptions about identity, consent, and institutional power through critical interdisciplinary analysis.

Dr. Stagg maintains active research engagement through international collaborations and institutional affiliations. Her 2017 study on flipped classrooms demonstrates commitment to educational innovation, while ongoing work with the Arts Education and Law Group suggests continued focus on pedagogical reform. The alignment of her research with Sustainable Development Goal 16 underscores its practical relevance to global justice initiatives.
