Kristopher Wilson is an Associate Professor in Law at Flinders University. His research asks who has jurisdiction, who gets to speak to jurisdiction, where does it overlap or co-exist independently, and what happens if and when they come into conflict? He explore these questions where Indigenous–settler relations, criminal law, and technology intersect.

Most recently, Kris was a contributor to the 1970 UNESCO and 1995 UNIDROIT Conventions on Stolen or Illegally Transferred Cultural Property (Oxford University Press 2024) and he is a collaborator on the Indigenous peoples and cultural heritage international research and capacity-building initiative in the second phase (2023-2027) of the UNESCO Chair program. He is currently co-editing a two-volume special issue titled ‘Decolonising Cultural Property’ for the International Journal of Cultural Property, and is a co-editor of a forthcoming book with Palgrave on Indigenous Research Methodologies. 

Kris' doctoral thesis at the University of Oxford examined the structure and operation of data access offences in the context of criminalisation theory and the evolving nature of the 'use' of computing technologies. For the duration of his doctoral work Kris was a Charlie Perkins, Roberta Sykes, and Chevening Scholar.
