3 Research, Scholarly Work and Creative Activities Interests and Expertise My scholarly work examines the challenges of legal regulation, rights claims, and access to justice primarily in two key venues: prisons and workplaces. I am interested in the ways that rights claims are framed, adjudicated, and reviewed by administrative authorities and courts, as well as the public support (or lack of it) for those rights claims. My research in these areas, as well as in the areas of social and economic rights and legal education and pedagogy, has been published in a number of American and Canadian law journals, including the Harvard Women s Law Journal, the Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice, the Temple Journal of Civil and Political Rights, the Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal and the University of British Columbia Law Review, as well as in books published in both the U.S. and Canada.
