Mrs Joanna Jarose
Lecturer
School of Law
College of Business and Law
Joanna is a lecturer and HDR candidate within the Adelaide Law School. Her PhD project examines the evolution of the law of contraband of war, in particular the limits on belligerent interference with neutral merchant vessels on this basis.
Joanna graduated from the honours degree of Bachelor of Laws in December 2023, with first class honours and a University Medal. She was the recipient of numerous undergraduate prizes, including the Angas Parsons Prize for most meritorious honours graduate and the Stow Medal. Her honours thesis, which examined the inchoate protective potential of the largely-disregarded Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, was published in the July 2024 issue of the American Journal of International Law.
She has been a researcher for the Research Unit on Military Law and Ethics ('RUMLAE') since September 2021. Her work for RUMLAE has covered areas including international humanitarian law, the law of naval warfare, space law, cyber and influence operations, current and historical Australian military law, and protection of cultural and environmental objects during armed conflict. She was co-rapporteur for the State consultation process for the draft Woomera Manual on the International Law of Military Space Operations, held in the Hague in June 2022.
Joanna has also taught at the Adelaide Law School since 2024, primarily in international law subjects.
Joanna's PhD project examines and interrogates the law of contraband as currently asserted, with a focus on the extent of protections for neutral merchant vessels from belligerent interference.
