Alice Bleby is a Lecturer in the Department of Business Law and Taxation at Monash Business School. She researches and teaches in environmental, sustainability and climate law, with particular interests in rights and personhood for nature; environmental law in the Anthropocene; and climate change legislation. Alice uses theoretical, doctrinal and empirical research methods to examine emerging legal responses to rapidly evolving environmental problems, analysing both law on paper and law in practice to identify ways to strengthen legal protection for nature in a context of unprecedented environmental crisis.

Alice is currently completing her PhD, investigating laws recognising nature as a legal subject in the context of the Anthropocene. She has also collaborated with colleagues on projects exploring the implementation of climate change framework laws, in particular the Climate Change Act 2017 (Vic).

Alice enjoys teaching, and particularly loves to teach environmental law. Alice is the Unit Coordinator for BTX3100 Sustainability Regulation for Business.

Prior to commencing at Monash, Alice worked as a research assistant, independent consultant, manager and policy officer in the Victorian Government, and senior policy advisor to a Victorian MP, providing research, policy advice and strategic leadership on environment and climate change issues.
