Hands holding a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms] Constitutional Rights and Freedoms in Canada: Critical Reflections & Engagement (conference on April 8, 2022) As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the constitutional recognition of Indigenous rights, it is timely to reflect upon the impact of these constitutional reforms. This workshop is aimed at mobilizing and sharing critical reflections regarding the meaning and application of diverse constitutional rights and freedoms, including theoretical, comparative, and interdisciplinary perspectives. It will provide an occasion to share past research and explore potential future research collaborations. Participation in the workshop (for those presenting) would involve preparing a short think piece (1,000-2,000 words) on a topic related to the constitutional rights entrenched in 1982. Others may simply be interested in attending. We would greatly appreciate hearing from you about your interest in participating by September 30th, including the issue/question you would likely explore in your short think piece.

Woman with long hair against a backdrop of trees] Jeanne Pérès, LLM (Montreal) Après avoir complété un baccalauréat en droit à l’Université de Montréal (UdeM) et son examen du Barreau à l’hiver 2021, je suis heureuse d’entamer une maîtrise en droit autochtone à l’Université McGill. Mon implication au sein du comité en droit autochtone de l’UdeM, ma participation au Kawaskimhon Moot, de même que mes expériences de travail dans des régions éloignées du Nord et du Grand Nord québécois aux côtés d’Innus ont contribué à faire de la cause autochtone ma vocation. C'est à travers mon parcours universitaire que j’ai pris goût à la recherche et à la rédaction juridique, notamment à titre d’assistante de recherche, d’étudiante en droit au sein d’un cabinet privé, mais également dans le cadre de concours de rédaction et de séminaires de recherche. Ces apprentissages ont renforcé ma volonté de faire du droit un moyen efficace de rendre justice. Soutenue par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH) du Canada grâce à la bourse Joseph Armand-Bombardier et par le Centre pour les droits de la personne & le pluralisme juridique de l’Université Mc Gill avec la bourse O’Brien, je souhaite rédiger une thèse qui reflète la collision entre notre régime juridique et les traditions juridiques autochtones et leur possible réconciliation. [Image removed by sender. Portrait of woman with an afro wearing a black tank top] Amanda Nutakor, LLM (Ghana) My name is April Amanda Nutakor - I don't mind being called April or Amanda, although Amanda is my official name. I am currently an LLM candidate at McGill University’s Faculty of Law. In 2020, I graduated from the University of Ghana School of Law as the Valedictorian of the 2020-year group, with a First-Class Honours and a 3.84 FGPA. From September 2019 to May 2021, I was a participant of an intercultural human rights project organized by the Harvard Law School in collaboration with the University of Ghana School of Law. The project focused on the right of the girl child to education in the Northern region of Ghana. Previously, I also worked at the Legal Resources Centre (the ‘LRC’), a non-governmental organization in Ghana, which focuses on development work and provides legal aid services. During my time at the LRC, I participated in human rights trainings and worked on the Prisons’ Project which was designed to increase awareness of the rights of prisoners and to provide legal aid to indigent persons in prisons awaiting trial or appealing against wrongful conviction. I am currently working part-time and remotely at an international UK-Ghana based law firm 'Egality Law'. The firm serves a range of clients from multinationals to non-profits and I support the team with legal research and analysis with a particular interest in human rights, criminal justice and defamation matters. My areas of research at McGill include juvenile and criminal justice, and human rights. [Image removed by sender. Woman in a barrister robe against a brown backdrop] Cynthia Kelechi Eboson, LLM (Nigeria) Barrister Cynthia Kelechi Eboson is a poised legal professional and researcher with a successful academic and career record. Barrister Cynthia graduated from the University of Exeter, Faculty of Law in England, United Kingdom in 2018. She was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2019 after completion of studies at the Nigerian Law School. A member of the Nigerian Bar Association, she has worked as a Lawyer and Human Rights Activist with various law firms and NGOs in Nigeria. Barrister Cynthia is a young professional whose primary interests are related to Human Rights with special regard to Gender equality and promotion of Women’s rights. This led to the establishment of her own NGO targeted at sensitizing communities in Nigeria on the importance of gender equality and promotion of human rights among communities in Nigeria. Her proposed research topic which is titled “Navigating Entrenched Customary Law and Human Rights: A case study of Inheritance rules and Gender rights in Nigeria” aims to add to the body of literature on the promotion of gender equality. Barrister Cynthia hopes to build a community of professionals with similar interests and set to impact knowledge and influence around the International Community. [Image removed by sender. Man in a suit standing at a lectern with a projector screen in the background] Yuri Romana-Rivas, DCL (Colombia) I am a current doctoral (DCL) student at McGill's Faculty of Law and an O’Brien Fellow at the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism. I did a Master of Laws (LLM) in International Law and Legal Studies from American University, Washington College of Law in Washington DC, and obtained my Law degree (LLB) at the “Diego Luis Córdoba” Technological University of Chocó (U.T.CH) in Colombia. Before coming to pursue my doctoral studies at McGill, I worked for almost three years as a specialized lawyer at the Chamber for Amnesty and Pardon of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) in Colombia, a transitional justice tribunal established in 2018 as a result of the 2016-Peace Agreements between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia- Peoples’ Army (Las FARC-EP). This tribunal was tasked with the responsibility to investigate, prosecute, and try the most serious crimes committed in the context of the more than 50-year armed conflict in Colombia. Previously, I worked for more than five years as a Human Rights Specialist at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights based in Washington D.C.I have also done research, taught, and written about different human rights-related topics such as transitional justice, structural racism, and standards of due process guarantees under International Human Rights Law. My doctoral research topic focuses on the need to strengthen Colombia’s transitional justice reparation structures to effectively compensate and restore the rights of Afro-Colombian communities who have been victims of the armed conflict. I am Afro-Colombian, and a very enthusiastic soccer aficiando. Resource Centre The Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR), the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS), and the Canadian Association for Refugees and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) have collaboratively developed a series of documents related to ethics in research with refugees.
