She has recently joined an Australian government-funded project – Investing in Women – as the Gender Equality Coordina- tor. Jane has over 30 years’ broad experience of engaging in high-level policy advice in international and comparative human rights law and labour relations practice. With the specialisation of working in ILO’s tripartite context to get buy-in for implementing international labour law, she has designed and delivered training programmes in the area of fundamental principles and rights at work, in particular, gender equality, freedom of association, disability inclusion, human rights and HIV/AIDS.

Siobhán Airey is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Post-doctoral Fellow at University College Dublin, currently based at the Transnational Institute, Amsterdam, where she researches the legal nature of the international governance of the financing of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in which a discourse of financialisation through new instruments and modes of public-private finance for development predominates. Her research interests lie at the nexus of legal theory and philosophy, critical international political economy and development, focusing on how law, emerging forms of trans- national governance, and ideas about development shape and reinforce the subjectiv- ities of states, markets and people in a neoliberal context. Her doctoral research, undertaken at the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa, was supported by a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Fellowship and she has been awarded a number of Canadian and international fellowships and awards to support her research. She has been a visiting scholar at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), at the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, Canberra, the European University Institute, Florence, and the Egmont Royal Institute for Inter- national Relations, Brussels.
