Biography

Dr Jacinta Sassine is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Western Sydney and admitted lawyer of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. She enjoys teaching and conducting interdisciplinary research across a range of areas, including legal philosophy. Her doctoral thesis argued for a deeper understanding of rhetorical justice within the practice of law in democratic systems, with a particular focus on Ancient Greek sophistry. Jacinta has been involved in several research projects, including with the Young and Resilient Research Centre at WSU, that has reflected her interest in justice and communication-based projects, particularly surrounding digital citizenship, algorithms, and emerging technologies. 

Jacinta recently (2023) co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Continental Philosophy ‘On the Question of Language’ which can be found here.
