Les candidats et leurs projets

1) Timiebi Aganaba
Overcoming the danger of a "single story" of space actors: The power of narratives in framing law and approaches to law can never be underestimated! As such, the "single story" of who can engage in outer space activities is damaging to aspirational and emerging space actors. Can a new conceptual lens inspired by third world approaches to international law (twail) minimize the danger of a "single story"? The CAIL approach presented in this talk is situAted within this attempt.

2) Alexandra Pasca 
Portraits du juge et de l'avocat civilistes dans la culture populaire: Mon projet de recherche porte sur l’évolution du rôle des juges et des avocats civilistes, en particulier dans le contexte des réformes récentes du système judiciaire québécois. Ma thèse est que la fonction symbolique de l’avocat et du juge – prêtres de la justice – s’est érodée au 21e siècle, laissant place à des fonctions administrative et transactionnelle qui trouvent écho notamment dans la culture populaire (films et littérature). Je m'interroge non seulement sur la culture populaire comme miroir du droit, mais également quant à son impact sur la pratique du droit, voire sur la redéfinition même de la fonction des avocats et des juges dans la société contemporaine.

3) Alexander Ezenagu
From Double Taxation to Non-taxation: why developing countries are still under-developed: Tax treaties are the primary means by which countries cooperate to avoid double taxation and counter tax evasion, but they have also become a central means for multinationals to avoid taxation on a global basis. I seek to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these tax conventions and standards as they affect developing countries, in order to assess the efficacy and viability of harmonization mechanisms, whether developed by the OECD or otherwise

4) Eliza Bateman
Snake oil salesmen for a new millennium? A federal Bill before US Congress proposes to ban LGBTQ conversion therapies. This would make unlawful all clinical interventions to change sexual orientation, on the basis that to offer this change constitutes therapeutic fraud. This is religion and psychology going head to head on the question of biology versus choice in sexuality and equality versus religious freedom rights. Who will blink first? 

5) Bradley Por
First Peoples' blockades enacting law across Canada: On the unceded lands of BC, and all across Canada, First Peoples' have formed blockades to stop development on their territories, to which they claim Aboriginal title. unable to wait for title claims to be proven in court while their lands are being accessed and developed without consent, First Peoples' at blockades are securing and protecting their territories and enacting their own Indigenous laws.
