THE ADVOCATE 717
VOL. 79 PART 5 SEPTEMBER 2021
Professor Thomasen holds a J.D. degree from the University of Ottawa and
an M.A. in International Affairs from Carleton University. Prior to her doctoral
studies, she clerked for Justice Rosalie Abella at the Supreme Court of
Canada.
Finally, we have been fortunate over the last several years to hire young
scholars on the cusp of entering the academic job market into short-term
assistant professor (without review) positions, enabling them to gain valuable
teaching experience and providing a platform for moving ahead with
their research agenda. Assistant Professor Brian Bird is the latest to join us
in one of these term positions. Professor Bird’s research interests include
constitutional law and theory, jurisprudence, legal history and bills of
rights. He holds a doctorate from McGill University, and B.C.L. and J.D.
degrees from the University of Oxford and the University of Victoria,
respectively. Prior to joining Allard Law, he was a postdoctoral research fellow
at Princeton University and clerked at the B.C. Supreme Court and
Supreme Court of Canada.
You can learn more about Allard Law faculty members’ research by
