Welcome to Osgoode’s first-ever Virtual Pierre Genest Panel Discussion. We have invited a panel to discuss the pre-recorded talk by our Pierre Genest visitor, Catherine Fisk, titled “Protection by Law, Repression by Law: Bringing Labor Back Into Law and Social Movement Studies”. This talk is also a forthcoming paper in the Emory Law Journal, and challenges the line-drawing which has led to the erasure of the labor movement from the field’s conception of a social movement, and offers new theories of the role law plays in social movement activism. In our panel is Joo-Cheong Tham, professor at Melbourne Law School in Australia, Joshua Mandryk, Associate at Toronto’s Goldblatt Partners, and Barry Eidlin is a Comparative Historical Sociologist and Assistant Professor in McGill’s Sociology department.
