What kind of news, media and events does RegNet publish?

Updated

RegNet (the School of Regulation and Global Governance at ANU) publishes three main streams of public-facing content: News and stories, In the media, and Upcoming events. News and stories covers institutional and research updates — new books, visiting scholars, job openings, and workshop reports. In the media collects opinion and analysis pieces, such as commentary on immigration policy and climate politics. Upcoming events lists scheduled activities hosted at or by RegNet. If you want to follow the school's research output and public commentary, these three sections are where that material lives.

News and stories

This section mixes research announcements with institutional news. From the page evidence, recent items include:

  • Workshop reports — e.g. "Explaining climate politics in Australia and the forces shaping climate action," hosted at RegNet and led by Christian Downie and Bill Kakenmaster, examining Australia's changing approach to climate change.
  • Research commentary — e.g. Professor Miranda Forsyth joining a webinar on restorative justice for environmental harm, covering accountability, repair, and Traditional Owners' participation.
  • Publications — e.g. the edited volume Information, Technology and Control in a Changing World, edited by Kate Henne.
  • Visiting scholars — e.g. Stanislava Ochranova, a doctoral researcher from Masaryk University, visiting to explore comparative perspectives on restorative justice.
  • Job opportunities — e.g. a Project Officer role supporting research on community rule-making, peacebuilding, and violence prevention.
  • Media appearances — e.g. Kate Henne discussing how Australia can lead in AI regulation, bridging social sciences, engineering, and policy.

The pattern: if it involves a RegNet researcher, a new publication, a visitor, or a hiring notice, it appears here.

In the media — opinions and analysis

This section collects RegNet-affiliated commentary published or cited in external outlets. The page evidence shows headlines such as:

  • "One Nation's immigration policy deserves serious discussion – but not for the reason you might think"
  • "Where should we focus to curb migration?"

These are analysis and opinion pieces rather than neutral news reports. The topics reflect RegNet's research concerns — migration, climate, technology regulation, and justice — and are framed as arguments or expert perspectives.

Upcoming events

RegNet lists scheduled events on the landing page. The evidence shows a workshop example ("Explaining Climate Politics in Australia," dated 28 September 2026) alongside dated news items. Events are hosted at RegNet or led by its researchers, and the listing gives the event title, date, and organizers.
