The IILAH podcast is the online home of lectures and conversations hosted by the Institute for International Law and the Humanities at Melbourne Law School. IILAH supports interdisciplinary scholarship on emerging questions of international law, governance and justice. Many of the significant modes of thought that have framed the way in which international lawyers understand the world have developed in conversation with the humanities. IILAH continues this engagement, through fostering dialogue with scholars working in disciplines such as anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, politics, theology and art.

Panel Discussion: Beyond Doctrine: Alternative and Critical Approaches to Law (Book Launch)
Sunday, 30 November, 2025

The Institute for International Law and the Humanities (IILAH) in collaboration with the Melbourne Doctoral Forum on Legal Theory (MDFLT/Forum) were pleased to host a launch of 'Beyond Doctrine: Alternative and Critical Approaches to Law' at Melbourne Law School. 'Beyond Doctrine' provides an authoritative and thoughtful introduction to different legal methodologies and situates those methodologies in an Australian context. Edited by Harry Hobbs and Jeremy Patrick, it includes contributions from an impressive array of Australian scholars covering theories that ask us to think more deeply about law and what it means. On the evening of 24 November 2025, Earn Asanasak was joined by chapter authors Professor Heather Douglas, Professor Ann Genovese, Dr Claerwen O’Hara and Dr Alice Palmer to discuss their contributions to 'Beyond Doctrine' and insights into the collaborative venture of an edited volume on legal theory. Speakers in order of appearance: Dr Alice Palmer, Earn Asanasak, Dr Claerwen O'Hara, Professor Ann Genovese and Professor Heather Douglas. This event happened in parallel with the launch of 'Beyond Doctrine' in Sydney at the UNSW Legal Education Research Conference also in November 2025.
