Summary:

"Critical Conversations in Canadian Public Law is a collection of essays that examine contemporary public law issues in Canada through critical lenses, including intersectional approaches to decolonial and Indigenous legal theory, Indigenous constitutionalisms, critical race theory, feminisms, queer theory and critical disability theory. Bringing together a diverse team of expert contributors, the collection demonstrates that critical theories are imperative to robust, fully contextualized understandings of public law topics."-- Provided by publisher.
