Tristan came to UNE via circuitous route following completion of his law degree at the University of Tasmania in 2000, completing an Honors thesis on quota management in Australian fisheries. He subsequently completed an MA in Roman Law at the same institution and ultimately a PhD in Classics at Yale University in 2010. He has taught in both law, particularly Introduction to Law, Roman Law and Criminal Law, and Classics, including Latin, Greek and Ancient History. He was a Visiting Fellow in Genocide Studies in the Yale University Genocide Studies Program in 2013-14, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of Texas, Austin, in 2015 and was awarded a UNE Partnerships Grant for his work on comparative genocide studies in the Roman world. In addition, he has worked professionally along the way in Fisheries Law, the Law of the Sea, Indigenous Law, Natural Resources Law and Environmental Law in consultancies and for the Commonwealth National Oceans Office. His main research interests are Roman Law and Society, Comparative Genocide Studies, and Roman imperial ideology.
