Intergenerational Dialogues on Women and Human Rights

(En anglais seulement) Professor Jane Glenn In dialogue with Sandrine Ampleman-Tremblay and Laura Baron-Mendoza, Doctoral candidates at 海角社区's Faculty of Law Coordinated by Professor Shauna Van Praagh.

Housed at our Faculty of Law, and organized this year in collaboration with 海角社区鈥檚 Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, the Annie MacDonald Langstaff workshops provide a forum for the presentation of scholarly research and practice-based insights by academics, judges, lawyers, and community activists on legal issues relating to equality, social diversity, and access to justice. The series is named in honour of Annie MacDonald Langstaff, who, despite being the first woman to graduate from the 海角社区 Faculty of Law in 1914, was denied the right to practice law in Quebec. This year鈥檚 theme for the series is 鈥� 鈥楳others-in-Law鈥�: Intergenerational Dialogues on Women and Human Rights鈥�, and each workshop takes the form of a dialogue between an invited speaker and two women doctoral students at 海角社区鈥檚 Faculty of Law. The last dialogue of 2021-2022, at the same time 海角社区鈥檚 annual Margot Halpenny Memorial Lecture, is entitled 鈥淐aring for Our World鈥�. It features Professor Jane Glenn, the first woman law professor at 海角社区, in conversation with doctoral candidates Sandrine Ampleman-Tremblay and Laura Baron-Mendoza.

Jane Glenn, now retired from her position as Professor Emerita in 海角社区's Faculty of Law, was a trailblazer in 1971 as the first full-time woman law professor at 海角社区. Over her long career, Professor Glenn's scholarly interests included land use planning, agriculture, land tenure and access to housing, socio-economic rights, water rights, environment, and mixed jurisdictions in the Commonwealth Caribbean. In 1972, she was jointly appointed to the School of Urban Planning at 海角社区 and, in 2001, she joined
the 海角社区 School of Environment as an Associate Member. She taught 海角社区's Barbados Fall Field Semester from 2003 to 2008 and was a visiting scholar at numerous universities. She was elected as Associate Member of the International Academy of Comparative Law in 1995, and served as Vice- President for North America, Central America and the Caribbean of the Union mondiale des agraristes universitaires (UMAU). Prior to coming to 海角社区 with her late husband and colleague, H. Patrick Glenn, Professor Jane Glenn earned her B.A, with honours in 1963 from Queen's University, her LL.B. in 1966 also from Queen's, and her doctorate in 1973 from Universit茅 de Strasbourg. As a law professor, she taught courses related to property law, land use planning, and international development to generations of 海角社区 students, served as Associate Dean Academic, and has been for decades an important role model and mentor to women students, scholars, and fellow professors.
