Dr Elizabeth Coleman - Researcher Profile

Biography

I studied philosophy at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, but have cross disciplinary interests spanning law, anthropology and art. I have received two postdoctoral awards, one from the ANU’s centre for Cross Cultural Research, and one at Monash across the Communications and Philosophy sections. I have taught legal philosophy, political philosophy, ethics, and philosophy of art, and currently teach the philosophy of communication and freedom of expression.
