With an interest in human rights for members of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities, I decided to embark on a journey into law. Upon graduating from the University of Ottawa in 2009, I went on to serve as a law clerk to the Honourable Madam Justice Louise Charron at the Supreme Court of Canada and worked at a national law firm in Toronto. I completed graduate studies at Yale Law School and the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, where I studied as a Trudeau Scholar and a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholar. I returned to the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law as an Assistant Professor in 2016.\u00a0I teach courses in public and constitutional law, along with criminal law and procedure.<\/p>\n<p>My research explores the role of police, courts, and prisons in maintaining, contesting, and transforming contemporary norms of gender identity and sexuality.\u00a0For example, I have written about police strip search procedures for transgender people, the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure, and the meaning of \u201cgender identity\u201d and \u201cgender expression\u201d in Anglo-American legal discourse.<\/p>\n<p>I am also deeply committed to making complex legal issues accessible to the public. To this end, I have published editorials\u00a0in places like\u00a0<em>The<\/em>\u00a0<em>Globe and Mail\u00a0<\/em>and have been interviewed by international, national, and local media outlets. I have also been invited to appear before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights and the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights as an expert witness.<\/p>\n<p>I often think about The College of the Humanities, and how it fundamentally shaped me as a person \u2014 not only did the B.Hum program teach me to think deeply and critically, but it also pushed me to be a disciplined writer, a thoughtful colleague, and an engaged citizen.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, the Bachelor\u00a0of Humanities encouraged me to seek out opportunities to contribute meaningfully to public dialogue, whether by pursuing a life in literature, art, science, history, medicine, or law.<\/p>\n<p>I will always be grateful for the opportunity to study, learn, and engage with professors, students, and mentors in this world-class academic program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Kirkup is an Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law (Common Law Section).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #272727;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>More about Bachelor of Humanities Alumni<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Careers\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/careers\/\">Careers<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Alumni testimonials\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/careers\/alumni-testimonials\/\">Alumni Profiles<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"linkedin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups?gid=6525318&amp;goback=%2Enpv_347849011_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1_nav*4responsive*4tab*4profile*4pic_*1&amp;trk=prof-groups-membership-logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linkedin Group for Bachelor of Humanities Alumni<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa I graduated from the Bachelor\u00a0of Humanities in 2006.
