BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH IMPACT

Dr. Christian Duperouzel is a lecturer in the Curtin Law School. Prior to joining Curtin, he was a practicing lawyer in Fremantle who specialised in the area of commercial litigation and was admitted to the Supreme Court of WA in 2008.

Since commencing work full-time at Curtin Business School in 2010, Christian has managed some significant courses of study within the school. After taking over the administration of the Sports Management major, he has gone on to lead large cohorts of first-year commerce students across Curtin’s Bentley and international campuses through the core Business Law unit, and cross-disciplinary Markets and Legal Frameworks unit, which integrates the disciplines of law, economics and marketing.

In 2017, Christian completed his doctoral studies which explored the role of a lived calling in driving the leadership accomplishment of a virtuous purpose. This is an area which Christian is extremely passionate about and his academic writings since that time have focused on themes to emerge from his research. In addition to leadership and vocational studies, other areas which Christian has a strong interest in are spirituality, human rights and responsibilities, conscious business, integrated forms of corporate governance, and the countering of extremist ideologies.  

Christian is an avid blogger and learner, who published his first non-fiction book, Calling New Leaders: How Living your Calling will make you an Inspired Leader of the Modern World in 2023. His second book (currently in writing) will explore contemporary issues in the field of Natural Law (Legal philosophy).
