Sparking Conversation: Postdoctoral Fellows Share their Experiences in Research
Every year, many postdoctoral fellows pass through the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law. These researchers are often embarking on fascinating new aspects of their previous doctoral research, broadening their horizons as they find new partners to converse and collaborate with.
While their time with us is relatively short, we want to make sure they have every opportunity to share what they’re doing with our community – to stop and talk about their research. So we invited each of them to tell us about themselves. We asked them about their projects, their influences, who they’re currently reading, and more.
We’re pleased now to present this new series – Sparking Conversation – which gives us a glimpse into the lives of the postdoctoral fellows at the Faculty of Law. We’ve greatly enjoyed seeing how these researchers describe their work in their own words and we think you will too.

Jacqueline Briggs
“I am looking forward to connecting with Indigenous organizations in Ottawa to share my PhD findings, and to explore their current concerns about access to justice and Indigenous justice.”
Jane Ezirigwe
“My research will serve global and African policymakers in their quest to make the governance of tech-driven agriculture more inclusive. For African farmers, especially African women farmers, the research will impact their economic empowerment.”
Yvonne Ndelle
“My work is largely influenced by my passion for agriculture and agricultural sustainability which stems from managing an extensive network of farmers involved in third-party group certification in my home country of Cameroon.”
Amanda van Beinum
“As I continue into my postdoctoral project, I remain drawn to theoretical perspectives [...] which emphasize the importance of learning from the lived realities of real people designing, using, and refusing health technologies."
