We welcome our Visiting Professor Anne Orford from the University of Melbourne, this year's holder of the Hedda Andersson Visiting Chair. Anne's scholarship has drawn upon social and political theory, jurisprudence, history, philosophy, and political economy to explore the nature, politics, poetics, and practices of international law. In her current project  she explores transnational responses to famine and food insecurity from the era of formal empire to the present. We are honored and happy to welcome her to our department.
