We are looking to build a team of volunteer researchers to help us with this work. I'm writing to you to ask you to pass on the details to your students and colleagues.

With the university year just starting we are hoping to attract a handful of enthusiastic students to do research into a wide variety of areas that relates to Australian corporations and corporations operating in Australia.

The areas of research we are particularly interested in include:

• Corporations' impact on human rights
• Corporations' impact on the environment
• The workers' rights records of corporations
• Ethical Shopping
• Corporate Social Responsibility
• Policy development
• Another area that interests you or your students and colleagues that relates to Australian corporations and corporations operating in Australia

We are holding a briefing session on 28th March. The meeting will be held from 6 to 7pm at the Melbourne University Law School building, 185 Pelham St, Carlton. Once inside, please take the lift to the third floor to the library. Once in the library, take the stairs up to the fourth floor - room 436 is a large room straight ahead at the end. You and interested students or colleagues are welcome to attend.

Alternatively you can simply contact me, Hammy Goonan, at info@corporatewatch.org.au.
