Frances McGlone - School of Law |
Senior LecturerBA, DipEd, LLB (Syd), LLM (QUT) Contact:Room: C708 (Gardens Point campus) When Frances joined the faculty’s full-time staff in 1990 she had already had considerable teaching experience. She also had approximately five years experience in private practice in New South Wales, specialising in the area of civil litigation. Since joining the Faculty she has continued her interest in teaching and learning, her achievements in this regard being recognised in 1995 with QUT Award for Outstanding Contribution in the areas of Teaching Performance and Leadership and Academic Leadership. Frances also has received the annual Dean’s Award for Teaching and on several occasions been nominated by her students for the QUT Student Guild’s Best Lecturer Award. In 1993 she was invited to become a member of the Australasian Law Teachers Association Teaching Workshop Committee and in this capacity co-facilitated several of the annual Australasian Teaching Workshops in the late 1990's. She also has researched and published in the area of tertiary teaching and learning. Frances has also received several teaching and learning grants, most recently in 2005 when she was awarded a QUT Teaching Fellowship to design, implement and evaluate a student peer mentor program in the two Torts units, Fundamentals of Torts and Select Issues in Torts. Frances's primary research area is the law of torts with a particular interest in the tort of negligence, and the determination of issues relevant to establishing a duty of care and causation, and the torts of nuisance and breach of statutory duty. A common theme underpinning these substantive law areas is the role that legal policy plays in shaping the law in these areas. Frances also has an active interest in employment law, especially as that law intersects with other common law areas and the tension between federal and state statutory schemes governing employment conditions. Her major publications are, as co-author with Amanda Stickley, Australian Torts Law (2005); with David Gardiner, the second edition of Outline of Torts (1998); and with Carol Rowell, Torts: Question and Answer (2000). Frances is also actively involved in the supervision of postgraduate students in the areas of torts, employment and industrial law. Since 2000 she has been a member of the Queensland Law Society Personal Injuries Specialist Accreditation Advisory Committee which awards specialist accreditation to Queensland legal practitioners in the area of compensation for personal injuries.
