Congratulations to Professor William Hebert, who has been named a recipient of the CU-CUASA Special Fund for EDI Research and Pedagogical Innovation! This innovation supports and enhances research excellence and pedagogical innovation across Carleton undertaken by members of equity-deserving groups and/or on topics that hold equity, diversity and inclusion considerations as a dominant focus.
The title of William’s project is: A Critical Examination of Provincial, Territorial, and Federal Correctional Jurisdictions’ Compliance with Human Rights Protections for Gender Identity and Expression
Description: Since 2015, several Canadian correctional jurisdictions have developed policies intended to comply with human rights protections for gender identity and expression. In this project, William will collect a comprehensive corpus of documents through Access to Information and Freedom of Information mechanisms. Complementing interviews William previously conducted in federal prisons, these documents will trace if and how provincial, territorial and federal correctional systems have responded to their rights obligations towards incarcerated gender diverse persons.
