Dr Susan Bartie is a passionate socio-legal historian at the ANU Law School. She is currently working on a 50-year history of Australian environmental lawyers (both academic and practising). This project builds on her prior studies of the discipline of law and is part of her broader academic agenda: to strengthen the empirical dimensions of law and better integrate them into mainstream legal studies and cognate disciplines.

The report is entitled War Funders and Profiteers: Economic Complicity in International Crimes in Ukraine and Beyond and, as the title suggests, it takes on the crucial but under-explored issue of international criminal responsibility of those who fund international crimes – war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression – or profit from them.
