Areas of Expertise

My research is interdisciplinary, applying insights from ethics, political theory, and legal philosophy to better understand legal practices.


I write about equality and antidiscrimination law, including its public law dimensions and intersections with private law doctrines, constitutional theory, the law and ethics of technology, and topics in bioethics and health law, particularly medical malpractice.


I'm the author of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Discrimination and a co-editor for the forthcoming Seventh Edition of the Emond Canadian Constitutional Law casebook. With Sophia Moreau and Haim Abraham as co-editors, we have a book under contract on Tort Law and Social Equality as part of the Cambridge Law Handbooks series with Cambridge University Press.
