Professor @UofT. Direct labs on justice & on antisemitism. I study claims & competitions over law and justice in disrupted, turbulent & unsettled times.
What a glorious time back at @uoft campus last week. Great to be starting the new semester! Looking forward.




So enthusiastic about today's class on comparison, in justice institutions in Europe, in @CEESMunk @munkschool . Here are 2 quotes from readings -- compared and twinned ! One by Rossi in LRB on twin studies, and the other by Foucault on psyc expert reports from 1955 & 1974.
How to select two cases or events on justice institutions in Europe? What do we do when we compare ? This week in our course on justice institutions in Europe @CEESMunk @munkschool ! And … two readings. One on twin pairs, and the other on two expert opinions in penal cases!
