Prior to joining QUT in 1998, Rachael worked in a number of different legal contexts including private practice, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Branch of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, the Ombudsman Office of Queensland and the Litigation Reform Commission. Rachael has been a senior lecturer in the Law School since 2006. Her key teaching interests are in the first year experience and dispute resolution.  She was a University Teaching Fellow for 2005 focussing on the development of blended models of teaching delivery.  Rachael is currently co-Program Leader (with Prof Sally Kift) of the Scholarship of Higher Education Learning in Law and Justice Program in the Faculty’s Law and Justice Research Centre, and is an ongoing member of the First Year in Higher Education Conference organising committee.  Rachael has published widely in her areas of research interest; for example, in the Australian Business Law Review, the Australasian Dispute Resolution Journal, the QUT Law and Justice Journal, the Legal Education Review and the Australian Family Law Journal.  Rachael was the Chair of the Faculty Equity Committee (2003-2005).  She has also been a member of the Women’s Legal Service, Brisbane management committee since 1994 and was elected President of the Service in 2004. Rachael is currently a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Law at the University of Sydney under the supervision of Professor Hilary Astor. Her thesis explores the notion of neutrality in mediation and offers an alternative paradigm based on professional mediator ethics.
