Speaker Bios
Angela Lee joined the Lincoln Alexander School of Law as an Assistant Professor in 2020. She received her JD at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia and her PhD from the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law.
Angela is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the TMU Law Review.
Donna E. Young is the founding Dean of the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at the Toronto Metropolitan University. Dean Young’s teaching and research interests are in the areas of employment law, criminal law and civil/human rights law with a focus on the law's role in systemic race and gender inequities. Dean Young attended the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School, and Columbia University, and has spent more than two decades in the legal academy.
Irina Ceric (she/her) is an Assistant Professor at the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law. Her academic research lies in the intersection of law and social movements, with a particular focus on the regulation and criminalization of dissent by movements for social and environmental justice and Indigenous sovereignty. Irina is also a longtime community activist and legal support organizer and educator, having worked with movements in Canada and the US since the late 1990s. Prior to shifting into full-time teaching, Irina practiced criminal and clinical law in Toronto and Vancouver.
Joshua Sealy-Harrington is an Assistant Professor at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law. He is a passionate teacher, scholar, and advocate who has received awards for his excellence in teaching, service, and advocacy. Drawing on critical race theory, Joshua’s current research explores the ways in which law mediates racial hierarchy, with a particular focus on how criminal and constitutional law subordinate Black and Indigenous people, and relatedly, construct notions of racial identity — including through dialogue with gender, sexuality, disability, and class.
