Lindsay Massara

Lindsay Massara is a doctoral student at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She is supervised by Dr. Brenna Bhandar. Lindsay’s research broadly considers British colonial administration and the genealogy of common law emergency. She traces the phenomena of emergency and martial law in the colonies to magnify circuits of power and complicate formations of race, property logics, and a rule of law. Her work is situated within socio-legal spaces, informed by critical legal studies and TWAIL (Third World Approaches to International Law). Prior to joining Allard, Lindsay taught international law, human rights, and law and development courses at the University of Oregon School of Law. She began her career as a lawyer working at the Oregon Court of Appeals.
