A/Prof Amanda Porter
I am a Koori academic of Aboriginal (Walbunjan Yuin) and settler (Scottish, Greek) descent. I am an Associate Professor of Criminal Law and Criminology in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne. My teaching and research interests include racial discrimination and police accountability law.
I have served as an expert witness on these topics, including for the Parumpurru Committee, the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency, the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, the Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance and the Victorian Coroner’s Court among others.
