McGill Centre for Human Rights & Legal Pluralism January 2022 Newsletter [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3/images/2bdd8823-324…] Upcoming events: * Jan 26: AML seminar with Esmeralda M.A. Thornhill Upcoming Events [Black and white image of a Black woman wearing glasses and official robes] "Mothers-in-law": Changing the Rules Annie Macdonald Langstaff seminar series with Professor Esmeralda M.A. Thornhill In conversation with Ruey-Yun Hung and Vanessa MacDonnell, McGill Law DCL candidates Moderated by Shauna Van Praagh Wednesday, January 26, 1:00-2:30 PM (ET) Zoom: click here<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…> to access the event. About the speaker Professor Esmeralda Thornhill is a lawyer, linguist and pedagogue by training, a lecturer, researcher, anti-racism trainer and writer by experience, and a longtime social justice advocate and community organizer by conviction. Research Associate since 2014 with Concordia's Simone de Beauvoir Institute, she formally retired in 2016 from Dalhousie's Schulich Law School where when appointed first scholar to anchor the unprecedented James Robinson Johnston Endowed Chair in Black Canadian Studies (1996-2002), she became the first African Canadian woman to hold a Tenured Full Professorship of Law in Canada. Seasoned Human Rights scholar-practitioner and founding member of the Congress of Black Women of Canada, she pioneered the first university-accredited course on Black Women's Studies offered in Canada (Concordia, 1983). In 2012 McGill's Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invited this former Fulbright Fellow to become its first O'Brien Fellow in Residence. Grounded in Critical Race Theory, her teaching, research and scholarship reflect an Afrocentric, anti-racist stance that resolutely addresses the "material reality" which Black people must navigate, nationally and globally. Besides degrees in languages and pedagogy (McGill), law degrees (UQAM, San Diego), post graduate studies in Spain, England and France, and international human rights law internships (UNESCO, Paris; Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Washington, D.C.), she holds Honorary Doctorates from CUNY and Concordia.
