Lecturer in Law, University of the Sunshine Coast
Dr Dale Mitchell is a Lecturer in Law at the University of the Sunshine Coast with a keen interest in the intersection between law and culture. His work within the field of cultural legal studies uses cultural artefacts (films, video games, novels, statues, costumes, interviews, etc) as a way of re-reading concepts of law and justice. This scholarship has gained national and international acclaim.
In 2022, Dale was awarded the Julien Mezey Dissertation Prize from the US-based Association for the Study of Law, Culture and Humanities, who hailed his work as ‘innovative and rigorous’ and demonstrating a ‘theoretical clarity that pushes legal analysis forward in creative and engaging ways’.
Dale is Secretary of the Law, Literature and the Humanities Association of Australasia.
