Sparking Conversation: Postdoctoral Fellows Share their Experiences in Research

“I consider myself lucky to be able to continue to enrich my research and teaching skills within a community of inspiring researchers.”

Every year, many postdoctoral fellows pass through the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law. These researchers are often embarking on fascinating new aspects of their previous doctoral research, broadening their horizons as they find new partners to converse and collaborate with.

While their time with us is relatively short, we want to make sure they have every opportunity to share what they’re doing with our community – to stop and talk about their research. So we invited each of them to tell us about themselves. We asked them about their projects, their influences, who they’re currently reading, and more.

We’re pleased now to present this new series – Sparking Conversation – which gives us a glimpse into the lives of the postdoctoral fellows at the Faculty of Law. We’ve greatly enjoyed seeing how these researchers describe their work in their own words and we think you will too.

“In my work, I am inspired by Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, and academic skeptic Marcus Tullius Cicero. My favorite quote from Cicero is ‘Knowledge of the laws is not to remember their words, but to comprehend their meaning.’”
