Serrin Rutledge-Prior

Research Fellow, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University

I am a Research Fellow with the Crawford School of Public Policy, working on projects relating to citizen engagement and participation. I recently completed my PhD with the School of Politics and International Relations at the Australian National University; my thesis outlined a proposal for how to better include nonhuman animals within the scope of legal justice.

I also volunteer for the Animal Defenders Office, a nationally accredited community legal centre based in Canberra that focuses on animal law issues, and serve as a member of the ACT's Animal Welfare Advisory Committee.
