Miranda Stewart LLM ’98, a professor at University of Melbourne Law School, will join NYU Law as a visiting professor of law in Fall 2025 for a three-year term, during which she will serve as the director of the International Tax Program.
“Miranda is a leading global voice in tax law and policy, bringing more than 25 years of experience in research, practice, and academic leadership,” Dean Troy McKenzie ’00 said in announcing Stewart’s hire. “Her scholarship addresses a broad array of complex tax issues, including international taxation, tax reform, and gender equality in tax systems. Miranda’s return to NYU is both a homecoming and a remarkable opportunity for our community to benefit from her global perspective and expertise.”
At the University of Melbourne, Stewart directs the research program in tax law and policy within the Melbourne Centre of Commercial Law. Stewart also is an honorary professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy’s Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at the Australian National University. She was the inaugural director of the institute, which is funded by the Australian Treasury.
Among the first graduates of NYU Law’s International Tax Program, Stewart earned her LLM in 1998, and later served as an acting assistant professor in the Graduate Tax Program. Over the years, she has maintained close ties with the Law School, most recently co-convening a 2023 research symposium, entitled “Sharing the Wealth,” at NYU Law. She has taught also in the graduate tax law programs at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School in Canada and the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Stewart previously worked in the Australian Taxation Office and as a solicitor at the Australian firm Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks.
