Alecia Simmonds is pursuing research that will provide a cross-jurisdictional, longitudinal analysis of the legal regulation of intimacy in the Australasian colonies from 1788 to Federation. Her methodology will combine archival research focusing on litigation, legal doctrinal analysis and ‘history from below’ to explore how the intimate lives of women and men shaped and were shaped by what we now call family law. The project emerges out of research conducted during Alecia’s PhD on the interaction between love and law in colonial Australia. It also stems from her realisation, whilst lecturing the Foundations of Law course at UNSW, that Australia lacks a comprehensive history of the development of family law, which is surprising given family law’s contested political nature.
