Bio: I am an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law at McGill. I have an LLB and a BCL from McGill and a Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy from UC Berkeley. I have been a visiting scholar at Kent Law School and Griffith Law School and a Fellow of the Stellenbosch Institute of Advanced Study. I am also currently a fellow of McGill's Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas. My work tends to start with me puzzling about how we began to speak or think a certain way and usually involves me trying to transform some of our shorthand into keywords. My doctoral work involved undertaking a 'Genealogy of Crimes Against Humanity.'  I have published on 'recognition' and 'values' in constitutional law and will soon publish on 'proportionality.' My most recent published work is “The Turn to Imagination in Legal Theory: The Re-Enchantment of the World?” (in Law and Critique). I teach mostly legal theory and constitutional law.

A light lunch will be provided.
