I'm pleased to announce that my latest article, "Reckoning with Queer History: The Canadian 'LGBT Purge' Case and the Limits of Forgiveness," is forthcoming @OHLJ. A pre-print version can be found here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… 🧵1/6
Publication drop! In my new paper "Finding Equality" published in the JLE @utlaw, I explore the possibilities and limits of feminist judgment projects in Canada, with a focus on creative rewriting as a means of radical legal and political organizing. 1/3

I explore this methodology in the context of HIV non-disclosure, a problematic area of the criminal law that punishes racialized immigrants and queer people disproportionately, criminalizing what is more effectively treated as a public health and human rights issue. 2/3
In this article, I explain what the rise of transphobic rhetoric means for Canadian universities, with a focus on campus violence. Recalling the @UWaterloo attack in a “gender studies” class in 2023, schools must act to protect students now. policyoptions.irpp.org/magaz…
In this article, my first in a two-part series for @IRPP released today, I explain there is a continuity between trans rights and women’s rights in the U.S and Canada. Our struggles for gender equality should be united, not opposed. policyoptions.irpp.org/magaz…
I’ve written three op-eds in response to the mainstreaming of transphobic rhetoric in Canada and the US. Here, @ashaholland_ @WindsorLaw and I explain the moral panic around trans athletes and how schools can protect trans students. theconversation.com/its-impo…

Grateful for this engagement by @GallantToronto @INMagazineCA with my research on the "LGBT Purge" class action settlement, a formative event in Canadian queer history.
For my full commentary on the case, please see my forthcoming @OHLJ article here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….
Should 2SLGBTQI+ people always forgive and forget the injustices that they've faced?:

Good news to share! I'm honoured to be named the OBA Foundation Chief Justice of Ontario Fellow in Legal Ethics and Professionalism Research, 2024-25. 🥳
My project explores what a restorative justice-inspired approach to legal ethics in Canada might look like. @OBAlawyers 1/2
The project asks whether #RJ can support a new vision of legal ethics within communities and across systems that can raise the moral consciousness of lawyers, facilitate collaboration, promote social justice, and redefine the role of lawyers as change agents. 2/2
Over three years in the making, the article is a labour of love for bringing together my passions for civil procedure, ADR, law and emotions, and queer theory. I hope it "troubles" the way we think about the relationship between settlements, forgiveness, and social justice. 5/6
Comments and conversations are welcome. Thank you to everyone who made this research possible, including the excellent @OHLJ editors and my network of queer friends, mentors, and allies who kept me focused and grounded in the work. 6/6🌈
