Megan Beatrice is a Lecturer in Law at Deakin University in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She obtained her PhD from RMIT University in the same city in 2025. Her research focuses on the intersectional analysis of the over-incarceration of First Nations women, extending the traditional two-point intersection of race and gender to include a third point - colonialism. She recently worked with author James Gilchrist Stewart on the publication of his book, ‘The Rise and Fall of Critical Legal Studies’, taking on proof reading and editing, as well as technical aspects including referencing and compiling an index.
Megan’s research generally takes a (post-structural) Feminist approach to gendered issues in criminal justice and the law. She has published on the topic in highly ranked journals, including the Monash University Law Review, the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law - Revue internationale de Semiotique juridique, the Adelaide Law Review, and Law, Culture and the Humanities.
