He is passionate about championing equality of opportunity and poverty alleviation by eliminating discrimination. During his tenure as a law academic, Jeswynn taught International Human Rights Law and looked into the intersectional context of people with disability applying a rights-based approach. At present, Jeswynn is implementing the Positive Duty reforms in the Northern Territory with a focus on race, disability and sex discrimination.
