Lindsay Massara
Lindsay Massara is a PhD candidate in Law at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia. Her doctoral research broadly considers British colonial administration and the genealogy of common law emergency. She traces the phenomena of emergency and martial law through case studies across Jamaica, Ireland, and India in an effort to magnify circuits of power and complicate common law formations of race, property logics, and a rule of law. Her work is situated within sociolegal and legal history spaces, informed by critical legal studies and TWAIL (Third World Approaches to International Law). Recently, Lindsay co-authored a chapter with Michelle McKinley (University of Oregon Law School) on slavery, critical methodologies, and the power of speculative history for The TWAIL Handbook (Antony Anghie, B.S. Chimni, Michael Fakhri, Karin Mickelson, and Vasuki Nesiah eds.) and has previously published on liberation, transgression, and property with Greg Baltz (Rutgers Law).
