Prof Kathryn (Kate) Henne is the Director of RegNet, the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance, and leads the Justice and Technoscience Lab (JusTech). She also serves on the leadership team of the ANU Integrated AI Network. Before commencing as RegNet’s Director, she held a Canada Research Chair at the University of Waterloo, where she was a Fellow of the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

Her research is concerned with how science and technology contribute to the governance of health, public safety, and social welfare. Her publications span diverse areas such as automated decision-making, biomedicine, data governance, gender inclusion, sports, surveillance and wellbeing.

Prof Henne's most recent book, Violent Impacts: How Power and Inequality Shape the Concussion Crisis (with Matt Ventresca), traces how law, science, and social inequities shape depictions and understandings of brain injury. It explains how certain bodies are recognised as part of a larger concussion crisis while others are pushed to the margins. Forthcoming publications include:

• Digital Welfare States: How Technology is Changing Social Protection (with Jenna Imad Harb), Oxford University Press
• Images of Law and Violence in Everyday Life: Lessons from the Regulation of Sports (with Meredith Edelman and Tate Morgan), Annual Review of Law and Social Science
