Anna Taitslin is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law at the University of Canberra. She earned two PhDs: one from the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, and another from the University of Tasmania in 2004, where her doctoral thesis, "Controversies in Natural Law from Zeno to Grotius: Two Competing Traditions of Natural Law," explored the historical development of natural law theories. Her teaching experience includes serving as a Tutor in Property Law at the University of Canberra from 2013 to 2015 and at the Australian National University from August to December 2017. Currently, she also convenes the course Introduction to Roman Law (LAWS4277) at the ANU College of Law.
Taitslin's academic interests lie in comparative law, the history of ideas, and natural law, with a particular focus on legal history encompassing Roman law, early common law, Russian law, and property rights under socialist civil law systems. Her publications include the monograph "Controversies in Natural Law from Zeno to Grotius" published based on her PhD research. She has contributed articles such as "The Competing Sources of Aquinas' Natural Law," "Is 'Liberty' a Right?," and "The ius commune and the Roman law legacy: mos gallicus versus usus modernus pandectarum" to journals like the Australian Journal of Legal Philosophy and IVS ANTIQVVM. In collaboration with Murray Raff of the University of Canberra, she co-authored key works including "Private Law in the Shadow of Public Law: A Legacy of 20th Century Marxism and the Soviet Legal Model" (2012), "Property Rights under Socialist Civil Law: Looking Back to the Twentieth Century" (2014), "A Comparative Perspective on the Concept of Ownership in Russian Law: From the Svod Zakonov to the 1994 Civil Code" (2016), and "Trials of the Civil Law in the Early Soviet Union: Socialist Civil Law in Comparative Perspective." Taitslin has presented on topics like the evolution of Roman law through Roman history and Kelsen's basic norm in comparative legal studies. She has also served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Australian Slavonic and East European Studies association.
