For over 30 years, Professor Borrows has written about the revitalization of Indigenous peoples’ laws, and their relationship to other Canadian Laws. In this talk, Professor Borrows will discuss the arc of his writing over this period, through graduate work, sole-authored manuscripts, and edited books. In the process, he will consider some of the themes the courts have developed which facilitate and frustrate Indigenous law, and he will discuss the role of academic legal writing in addressing these challenges.
Co-hosted by the Canadian Network of Law & Humanities, a Public Humanities Hub-funded research cluster, and Indigenous Legal Studies at the Peter A. Allard School of Law.
