LOCATION:TC - William M. Tatham Centre for Co-operative Education & Career 
 Action 200 University Avenue West Room: 2218 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
SUMMARY:Scholar Spotlight: Dr. Emmett Macfarlane
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Macfarlane will speak on to the relationship
  between\nspecific governments and the judiciary. Extending a previous stu
 dy of\nthe records of the Mulroney\, Chrétien\, and Harper governments be
 fore\nthe Supreme Court of Canada\, and applying a conception of political
 \nregimes adapted from American scholarship\, this paper analyzes the\nimp
 act of judicial review on the Trudeau governments’ legislative\nagenda. 
 The paper draws on a dataset of all Supreme Court cases\ninvolving federal
  legislation challenged on Charter grounds during the\nTrudeau era (2015-2
 025)\, as well as a handful of relevant lower court\ncases involving highl
 y salient policies. In so doing\, the paper also\nre-examines the relevanc
 e of a ‘regimes’ lens of analysis in light\nof criticisms that the con
 cept does not translate to the context of a\nparliamentary system.

SUMMARY:Scholar Spotlight: Dr. Anna Drake
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Anna Drake will be speaking on a new approach to deliberative\n
 consociationalism. She combines critical work on structural injustice\nand
  deliberative democracy with intersectional feminist interventions\ninto p
 ower-sharing. Drawing from the radical analysis in the Combahee\nRiver Col
 lective statement (1977) and their argument that\nintersectional identity 
 is a source of knowledge and the impetus for\nmuch-needed structural chang
 e\, she argues post-conflict societies\nshould focus not on power-sharing\
 , but on a transformation of power.\n\nOnline MS Teams Link: Scholar Spot

DESCRIPTION:LAWLESS: ABORTION UNDER COMPLETE DECRIMINALIZATION\n\nCanada is
  the only country with complete decriminalization of\nabortion: no gestati
 onal duration limitations\, no parental consent\nobligations\, and no wait
 ing periods. In recent years\, other countries\n(New Zealand\, Colombia\, 
 Uruguay\, Mexico) have made strides toward\nthis\, while the United States
  has notoriously lost ground. Amidst the\ntumult\, nurse and scholar Marth
 a Paynter uses historical context and\ncontemporary issues to explain why 
 experts advocate against laws\ngoverning abortion.
