About Emma
Emma Robinson is a Lecturer in Griffith Law School at Griffith University, part of the Arts, Education and Law Group, and serves as Program Director for the Graduate Diploma of Australian Migration Law and Practice. She holds a Bachelor of Arts majoring in German Studies and a Bachelor of Laws, and is a PhD candidate at Griffith Law School. Her doctoral research uses a comparative approach to examine how church sanctuary interacts with legal frameworks in Australia and Germany, with the aim of critically analyzing shortcomings in the international refugee law framework and its domestic implementation by nation states.
Robinson has taught in the migration law program since 2010, convening courses such as Immigration and Refugee Law (5124LAW) and Visa Compliance, Cancellation and Review (7133LAW). In 2015, she and Kate van Doore received the AEL Learning and Teaching Citation for their online course development in the Graduate Certificate in Australian Migration Law and Practice, aligning site architecture for student familiarity, focusing on learning outcomes, and disseminating practices across the university and sector. As a solicitor and registered migration agent (MARN 0531160), she published 'Knowledge requirements for migration agents from 1901 to today' (2019), tracing regulatory evolution from the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 through the Migration Act 1958, Migration Agents Registration Scheme (1992), to current Graduate Diploma and Capstone Assessment requirements, citing reviews like the 2014 Kendall Report. She co-authored 'When the guardian locks the gate' (2021, Griffith Law School Research Paper No. 21-3) with Marianne Dickie. In 2024, she was noted as Program Director in a US Supreme Court amicus brief.
