Dr. Meredith Edelman is a professor at Monash University, Australia. Her recently published book analyzes corporate accountability and the Catholic diocese sex abuse scandals. Her work focuses on the intersection between corporate wrongdoing and child sexual abuse within Catholic organizations, detailing how legal structures and governance frameworks (such as Canon Law, Tort Law, and bankruptcy processes like Chapter 11) handle corporate accountability. During her talk, Dr. Edelman will discuss the global impact of these cases. Dr. Edelman’s work generally revolves around themes of restorative justice, strengthening institutional structures, and reducing inequality.
