Amanda is a lecturer at the Department of Business Law and Taxation. She is also the department's Director of Higher Degrees by Research and a member of the Labour Equality and Human Rights (LEAH) Research Group.

Her research is inherently socio-legal focussing on issues of access to justice and gender equality in the fields of labour law and taxation, drawing upon doctrinal, comparative, empirical and mixed method approaches. By bringing a feminist lens to her work, she has published several articles in generalist and specialist law journals that expose issues of inequality and sexism. She has published in top tier legal journals including Modern Law Review and Federal Law Review. 

She is currently collaborating on an ARC-funded project exploring labour dispute resolution in Southeast Asia. She is also actively publishing findings from her thesis exploring the gender dimensions of Australia's regulation of supports for balancing work and caregiving - including parental leave entitlements, flexible work policies, and breastfeeding supports for working carers. 

Amanda teaches the undegraduate units BTX3991 Employment Law and BTF5965 and BTF3931 Taxation Law. She has also lectured for the undegraduate unit MGF2341 Managing Employee Relations with the Department of Management. Teaching legal subjects to business students, Amanda brings her passion for access to justice to her teaching, experimenting with innovative approaches to make complex legal subjects accessible and engaging. 

Amanda holds a Bachelor of Law (Honours) degree from Monash University and undertook her Practical Legal Training with the Australian National University before her admittance as a lawyer in the Supreme Court of Victoria. She completed her doctoral thesis with the Department of Business Law and Taxation at Monash University.
