Academic Profile
Dr Rocque Reynolds joined the Faculty in 2004, having held teaching positions at UNE and UNSW. She has written, taught and advised on all aspects of intellectual property (IP) and administrative law including contracting and managing IP for Government procurement and Defence.
Rocque has conducted significant research into current trends in managing IP in business, with a particular emphasis on agribusiness. Her work includes a report on managing IP in the pasture seeds industry, the introduction of end point royalties in the grain industry and the international framework for the protection of plant genetic resources and food security.
Dr Reynolds has also had long experience in both private and government practice, with a particular focus in the entertainment, film and media industries. She maintains a continuing interest in the intersections between cultural production and the law.
She is currently Director (Courses) within the Faculty and the editor of the new refereed journal, Public Space: The Journal of Law and Social Justice. In 1996-97, Rocque helped establish the School of Law in the Faculty of Business and Law in Phnom Penh (as a joint project between UNSW and the University of San Francisco).
