An award-nominated author
Dr Golding is as an award-nominated author. In 2024, Shaping Contracts for Work: The Normative Influence of Terms Implied by Law (Oxford University Press, 2023) was one of only four books shortlisted for the UK Society of Legal Scholars’ Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship (one of the most prestigious awards in UK legal publishing) and nominated for the Australian Legal Research Awards Book Prize. Also in 2024, she has been shortlisted for the University of Adelaide Awards for Outstanding Achievement for Research Excellence and Impact in the mid-career researcher category and received a nomination for the University of Adelaide's Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics Award for Research Impact. Her work has been cited by the Federal Court of Australia (on the issue of an implied term of reasonable notice in contracts of employment), and in the Parliament of Australia (during debate and in Senate Select Committee reports leading to the passing of the Fair Work Act Amendment (Closing Loopholes No. 2) Act 2024 (Cth) and the Fair Work Amendment Bill 2024 (Cth)).
Tailored research projects and bespoke training and seminars
Gabrielle has delivered tailored research projects, including for the US-based organisation, International Lawyers Assisting Workers, Australian Human Resources Institute, and South Australian Attorney-General. Her bespoke training and seminars have been presented to the International Labour Organization, Solidarity Center (a US-based international worker rights organisation), Australian Labour Law Association, Australian and Employment Relations Association, and a broad range of Australian unions, including the Australian Services Union (one of Australia’s largest unions). She is regularly invited to present her scholarship in Australia and internationally.
Regular engagement with the media on topical employment law matters
Dr Golding engages regularly with the media on topical employment law matters, having been interviewed by CNN, the BBC, The Times (London), The Telegraph (UK), the ABC (including for its 7:30 Report, Radio National, and Triple J Hack programs), SBS, The Guardian, The Australian, and Australian Financial Review. She has also been commissioned to write for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Monthly, and InDaily.
Recognition of scholarship and contributions to the legal profession through awards
Gabrielle has been recognised for her scholarship and contributions to the legal profession through various awards. In 2024, she was nominated for InDaily’s 40 Under 40 Award for her ground-breaking research into Australia’s new right to disconnect from work—an achievement for which she also received the 2023 Adelaide Law School’s Dean’s Award for Research Engagement, followed by an equivalent nomination by the University of Adelaide’s Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics. 2022 saw Gabrielle appointed as a Barbara Kidman Women's Fellow at the University of Adelaide. In that same year, she was nominated for the distinguished Paul Bourke Award by the Australian Academy of Social Sciences—an award which honours researchers in the early part of their career who have achieved excellence in social sciences scholarship. In both 2019 and 2020, she received nominations for the Australian and South Australian Young Lawyer of the Year Awards for her efforts in supporting the career readiness of law students.
