About Us
The ILGJ Initiative brings together faculty members, staff lawyers, and students working in the areas of international law, global justice, and human rights. It seeks to provide a fertile space for high-impact collaborative research, clinical activities, in-class and experiential learning, career development and placement, and public engagement.
Core Principles
-
Bridging theory and practice through justice-oriented scholarship and public engagement
-
Take an expansive view of both “international law” and “global justice", including transnational law, comparative law, etc.
-
Bridging communities of scholars and practitioners from the so-called “Global North” and “Global South”.
-
Our members engage with law in ways that are expansive and imaginative – yet also critical and self-aware. We remain sensitive to the limitations of law and rights as vocabularies of change, and recognize their use in furthering colonialism, dispossession, and oppression.
-
While the initiative is global-facing, we are committed to contributing locally. We intend to collaborate with local community groups, non-governmental organizations, advocacy initiatives and government to make international and comparative law relevant for the pressing justice issues faced by individuals and communities in Canada.
