As lead conference organiser, Dr Pelizzon put together an amazing and unforgettable program for the 2019 Law, Literature and the Humanities Association of Australasia Conference, held at the Gold Coast campus from 2-7 December, 2019.
In June 2020 Dr Pelizzon, Dr Renaud JoannesBoyau, Professor John Page, Nicole Rice, Professor Anja Scheffers published an article ‘Owning humankind: fossil, humans and archaeological remains’ which looked at the intersection of archaeological practices and legal regimes around the engagement with hominid and hominin fossils. The work has also appeared on the Conversation.
Dr Pelizzon along with Dr Stuart Barlo, Professor Bill Boyd, and Dr Shawn Wilson, published ‘Yarning as Protected Space: principles and protocols’ which emerged from the work done as part of Dr Barlo’s PhD, (which Dr Pelizzon had supervised in the past).
Dr Pelizzon and Mariana Ribeiro Santiago, also published ‘The “Harmony with Nature” Paradigm in Brazil’ focused on the recent introduction in Brazil of the broader rights of nature discourse.
In February 2020, Dr Pelizzon published ‘An Intergenerational Ecological Jurisprudence: The Supreme Court of Colombia and the Rights of the Amazon Rainforest’ (2020) 2(1) Law, Technology and Humans 33-44, which focuses on the emergence of a strong youth movement with a more nuanced and intuitive ecological sensitivity.
Dr Pelizzon has been interviewed for, and invited to be part of an online project called The Sapience Project, a web-based ‘fireside’ conversation program run by Frank Forencich.
The first textbook on Earth Laws, titled Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law—A Practitioner’s Guide, of which Dr Pelizzon is a contributor along with a number of colleagues from different jurisdictions, is set to be completed by the end of 2020. The writing has been coordinated by the Earth Law Centre in the United States, and will be published by Wolters Kulvers
Several other articles are in the pipeline, (the first in the Legal Education Review, and another in Transnational Environmental Law), with another four more requested by the end of 2020, while the main focus remains the completion of the book Ecological Jurisprudence: Law, Representation and Environmental Metaphysics, currently underway.
