University of Melbourne Centre for Employment & Labour Relations Law

Colin Fenwick (Melbourne) writes to tell us about the University of Melbourne's Centre for Employment & Labour Relations Law.

From the Centre's webpage:

The Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law was established in the Faculty of Law in 1994. Its broad aims are to consolidate the teaching of, and research into, labour law at the University of Melbourne, to contribute to the development of labour law teaching and research throughout Australia, and to engage with labour law scholars throughout the world. Centre Members are responsible for teaching labour law subjects in the undergraduate and graduate programmes in the Faculty of Law, with the graduate programme leading to both Masters Degrees and Graduate Diplomas specialising in labour law.

Centre Members are engaged in research in diverse aspects of the broad field of labour law and labour market regulation. Areas of particular interest and expertise include the regulation of individual work relationships, discrimination in the labour market, the operation of courts and other dispute resolution institutions, the regulation of occupational health and safety, collective labour relations, comparative labour law, international labour standards, and unemployment law and policy. The Centre is engaged in ongoing research on the constitution and regulation of labour markets, both in Australia and abroad, with work being done on labour law in the Asia-Pacific region, Southern Africa, and Europe.

I look forward to hearing great things coming out from this institute. We will soon add a link to the Centre on the left-hand column of the blog so everyone can stay up-to-date on its work.
