Dr Berg is a Senior Lecturer in the Law Faculty at the University of Technology Sydney. She is a graduate in law of the University of New South Wales, New York University and University of Sydney. Her research advances the rights of low-waged temporary migrant workers in Australia and the normative claims for justice of these largely invisible communities. Her recent research projects include a ground-breaking empirical study of non-residents working in homes across Australia as au pairs. Laurie is currently working with Bassina Farbenbum on the first extensive research into temporary migrant workers’ access to remedies for employment-related harms in Australia. Before coming to UTS, Laurie worked at Human Rights First, in New York, in the International Humanitarian Law Program of The Australian Red Cross and as Co-Convenor of the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby (NSW).
