Gary has published on law and science, expert evidence, and the public understanding of science in journals dedicated to law, sociology, and science studies. Although his research interests are primarily focused on the evidentiary and procedural dimensions of mass torts and miscarriages of justice, his recent research has involved a critical reassessment of literature on the public understanding of law, anthropological and historical evidence in native title claims and comparisons between legal, sociological, and ethnomethodological approaches to the cross-examination of experts. He is a member of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society, the Australasian Association for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science and the Society for the Social Study of Science (US).
