This 2017 article explains the establishment of a legal research centre by Melbourne Law School, thanks to the donation of a former student. The centre was to be led by Professor Michelle Foster, an expert in human rights law, refugee law, and statelessness. The Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness will work with governments, the not-for-profit sector, and the United Nations to develop solutions to statelessness, focusing especially on the Asia-Pacific region. Its work will focus primarily on research, teaching and training, supporting public policy, raising public awareness, and law reform.
