Excited to share that our new research article has been published in @cjps-rcsp.bsky.social. This is also the first piece that I've worked on with one of my PhD supervisors, Paul Gardner. I'm very proud of the work done on this piece! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I had a great time giving a short guest lecture on Bill 21 to @queenspols.bsky.social Canadian Politics course for their week on Quebec politics! Bill 21 is a great contemporary case study to use to talk about Quebec politics (and the Charter, of course).

It's cool to see this editorial in The Globe and Mail engage with my work published in the Ottawa Law Review. I agree with some of points made here, but not all.

It's a good day when your heavily discounted UTP order arrives. I have some interesting reading to look forward to.
