Biography
Delphine Nakache is a Full Professor in the Faculty of Law, French Common Law Section, at the University of Ottawa. She is also a lawyer and member of the Law Society of Ontario. She holds the University Research Chair on Migrant Protection and International Law. Her teaching and publications focus on international public law, constitutional law (division of powers), and immigration, refugee and citizenship law. Her research, empirical and collaborative, looks at migrants with precarious status (migrant workers, non-status migrants, asylum seekers, etc.) and marginalized immigrants, and deals with the concept of “vulnerable migrant” in national and international legal instruments. She regularly engages with government and civil society representatives on these topics and acts as a consultant for government and intergovernmental institutions.
