Tony Zhou is a doctoral candidate in Law at Corpus Christi College, the University of Cambridge. He was educated at the University of Queensland, and has an LLM from the University of Cambridge. Tony’s research spans private law, tort law theory, and moral philosophy. His PhD focuses on whether exposure to risks of physical injury constitute harm.

The ANU Law and Philosophy Forum is an interdisciplinary group focused on issues spanning law and philosophy.

Its core purpose is to promote research, discussion, and exchanges on various topics in law and philosophy, covering aspects of both private law and public law, and issues within both legal and political philosophy.

The Forum hosts guest speakers, holds workshops, and discusses recent scholarship of note in the field. Meetings are open to faculty members and research students from ANU College of Law and the School of Philosophy, and friends and colleagues of both.
