Emily Hudson is a Professor of Law at the University of Oxford, affiliated with The Queen’s College and the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre. She holds a unique background in law and science, having completed undergraduate degrees in both disciplines at the University of Melbourne, followed by legal practice at Minter Ellison.

Her academic roles in 2024-25 include leading the FHS copyright option Copyright, Trade Marks & Allied Rights, convening the BCL/MJur option Incentivising Aesthetic Progress: IP, Art and Design, and contributing to other intellectual property courses. She is also Director of the Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot, advocating for experiential learning in legal education.
Hudson’s awards include the Harold Luntz Graduate Research Thesis Prize (2012) and the University of Melbourne’s Chancellor’s Prize (2013). Her work bridges empirical methods, behavioral economics, and legal theory to address challenges in cultural institutions and creative industries.
