Bio:  Before moving to academia, I practiced as a tax lawyer with Stikeman Elliot LLP in their Toronto and London (UK) offices. My practice focused on corporate and international tax, including tax aspects of cross-border investments and transactions, financings, and reorganizations and restructurings. 

Teaching:  I am most happy when a student proclaims that she went home and was talking to her roommate/parent/neighbour about some issue that came up in class and then explains with commitment why she now agrees or disagrees with the position she expressed in class. I have received teaching awards from McGill, UBC, and Queen's and am a recipient of the 3M National Teaching Fellowship. 

Research interests:  My research interests are primarily in the area of corporate and international tax law and policy, and they might be broadly cast to fit within two broad themes: using a discrete area of tax law to understand a larger tax concept, and using the tax system to promote international economic justice. I am currently working on a SSHRC-funded project on tax expenditures – spending programs delivered throughout the tax system.  

A light lunch will be provided.
