Alumnus Sharif Youssef co-edits Human Rights after Corporate Personhood: An Uneasy Merger?

Jody Greene and alumnus Sharif Youssef (MLS 2014, JD 2018) are the co-editors of Human Rights after Corporate Personhood: An Uneasy Merger? (University of Toronto Press, 2020).

UTPress says the book "offers a rich overview of current debates, and seeks to transcend the 'outrage response' often found in public discourse and corporate legal theory." The publisher adds the book is "presented accessibly for the benefit of non-specialist readers, the volume offers original arguments and draws on eclectic sources, from law and poetry to fiction and film" and is for "anyone seeking a better understanding of the interface between corporations and the law in the twenty-first century."

In addition to his Master of Studies in Law and JD from U of T, Youssef earned his PhD and MA in English and American Literature at the University of Chicago. He is curently an Assistant Professor of English and Legal Studies at Ashoka University, a liberal arts and sciences university based on a collective philanthropy model.
