Research associate, UNSW Sydney

Carolyn M Evans CSC was previously a senior decision-maker in commercial and nonprofit enterprise, after an early career in the Royal Australian Air Force which culminated in the award of the Conspicuous Service Cross.

She is presently a researcher and teaching fellow at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, with current interests in international law - particularly in relation to her book, 'Towards a more accountable United Nations Security Council' (Brill | Nijhoff, February 2021).

The unifying theme in her work is governance and accountability, such as seen in contributions to the work of Jeni Whalan on ‘The partiality of international peacekeeping’, ‘Scenario-Based Training for Senior Leadership in Peace Operations - Sexual Exploitation and Abuse’, ‘Dealing with Disgrace: Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peacekeeping’, and ‘Leveraging power and influence on the United Nations Security Council’.

She has also addressed topics as diverse as forced marriage in Australia and competition in Australian retail banking, and, more recently, is supporting a project investigating constitutional populism as it relates to constitutional democracy.
