Dr. Anderson also has two sole authored book projects with Oxford University Press, arguably the world’s most prestigious publisher (approximately 500,000 words/800+ pp. each).
Teaching Expertise
Dr. Anderson has taught into a wide variety of university subjects – no fewer than twenty-four (24).
During his time at Macquarie he was invited to present lectures on aspects of the Australian constitution, international law and secessionism. He also taught postgraduate International Law, undergraduate Australian and International Politics, Political Theory and various undergraduate law courses such as Jurisprudence, Foundations of Law, Company Law, Property Law and Equity and Trusts.
Whilst at Newcastle, he has been responsible for solely convening core and non-core aspects of the law syllabus at the undergraduate and juris doctorate (JD) level:
LAWS4005 Company Law (core/Priestly 11)
LAWS4010 Equity and Trusts (core/Priestly 11)
LAWS4011 Property Law (core/Priestly 11)
LAWS6012 Equity and Trusts JD (core/Priestly 11)
LAWS6005 Property Law JD (core/Priestly 11)
LAWS5005 Advanced Legal Research Project

Dr. Anderson has developed high quality graphically organized, colour coded and image-laced slides to stimulate eidetic memory and facilitate student learning in challenging core areas of the law curriculum. He has also authored detailed learning materials. These multifarious resources form the foundation for a high end virtual presence and blended learning.
His courses are suitable for internal and external (fully online) methods of delivery.
Dr. Anderson has supervised numerous high quality honours theses: 2010 (1 Top Mark), 2011 (1 Top Mark), 2013 (2 Equal Top Marks), 2014 (1 Top Mark).
Higher Degree Research Supervisions
Dr. Anderson is currently supervising a PhD thesis in the area of fiduciary law: Breaking Free from the Status Quo: The Way Forward for Fiduciary Duties in Australia.
Looking to the future, he is interested in supervising Masters and PhD students in equity/property law. Of especial interest are subjects such as property jurisprudence, native title, the intersections of equity with the Torrens land system, the fusion fallacy, equitable priorities, fiduciary obligations (theory, scope, fusion, emerging trends – e.g. extension of fiduciary liability to politicians, crown, doctors, priests, arbitrators, etc) and charitable trusts.
He is also interested in supervising Masters and PhD students in international law. Of particular interest is the use of force, including issues such as preemptive and anticipatory self-defence, proportionality, autonomous weapons systems, space warfare, and nuclear disarmament.
Dr. Anderson is also interested in the law of secessionist self-determination, specifically, its ambit under customary international law (textual scope of UN declaratory General Assembly resolutions and state practice in terms of physical acts and omissions). Secessionist case studies such as Katanga, Bangladesh, Biafra, The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Tibet, Croatia, Kosovo, Quebec, Chechnya, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Catalonia, Transnistria, etc, are of particular interest. He is also interested in whether (remedial) secessionist self-determination is a peremptory (jus cogens) norm of international law, and if so, what its scope might be, and how it might intersect with other peremptory norms, such as the prohibition on the illegal use of force, or the prohibition on systematic racial discrimination and apartheid.
Teaching Philosophy
Dr. Anderson has developed the Seven Principles Teaching Philosophy (tapestry, adaptation, normative analysis, effectiveness, simplicity, tradition and responsibility principles). The philosophy draws upon timeless intellects such as Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Confucius and Einstein, and is made available to students to inform their overall expectations of teaching and learning at law school.
Other Teaching Presentations
Dr. Anderson has authored Embracing the Age of Digital Disruption Without Disrupting Law School Fundamentals, which explores the strengths of digital teaching technology, but argues for an ongoing emphasis on reading, listening, note-making, writing, human engagement, role-modelling, spontaneous questioning, and rhetoric.
He has also authored The Importance of The Tertiary Digression, which argues that although law classes must remain focused, there should be scope for (spontaneous) discussion lateral to the subject being taught to ensure classes are more than narrowly teaching to (fetishizing) the final examination. This ensures a richer and more enlightening law school experience.
Administrative Expertise
Dr. Anderson has successfully overseen twenty-seven (27) unit convenorships at Newcastle Law School. This has entailed the redesign and implementation of five core and two non-core courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
He was a member of the School's 2014-2015 and 2017-2018 ERA Advisory Committees and contributed to the selection and authorship of materials for both submission rounds.
He has also designed and overseen changes to LAWS5005 and LAWS6043 to comport with the School's strategic emphasis on research and higher degree enrolments.
Dr. Anderson was appointed as the Law School's HDR Convenor in 2018.
