Staff & Faculty Directory

  • James Stewart

    Professor

    My research interests are eclectic and interconnected.
     
    First, I have spent a number of years working in international criminal law as a witness, a prosecutor and a scholar. I began my career working with victims and perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide within local settings and in Rwandan prisons. The experience informed much of my work at the intersection of theory and practice in international criminal justice.

  • Jessica Templeman

    SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow

    My research broadly unpacks the processes unfolding across the immigration and criminal system that contribute to the exclusion and expulsion of migrants from Canada. My doctoral work considered how knowledge of criminal inadmissibility impacted decision making on migrant sentence. It revealed how the immigration and criminal systems in Canada function in tandem to support the criminalization and deportation of racialized migrants specifically. My postdoctoral work now investigates the various types of knowledge, materials, and actors that inform decision making in the immigration system.
