Professors receive SSHRC grant for environmental law conference

Four UCalgary Law professors received a $25,000 SSHRC grant to host the Indigenous Solutions for Environmental Challenges conference, taking place November 10-12 in Banff, AB.

Professors Sharon Mascher and Kathleen Mahoney (co-investigators), and Professors Nigel Bankes and Robert Hamilton, along with Phil Fontaine (collaborators), received a $25,000 SSHRC Individual Connection Grant to assist with funding for the conference, which will use the context of the historic Aguinda v. Chevron environmental case to consider the critical role of judicial remedies for violations of the rights of indigenous and other affected peoples and the leading systemic obstacles to the realization of remedies in particular cases, both in Canada and beyond.

Professors presenting at the conference include Evar Oshionebo, Shaun Fluker, Jennifer Koshan, Kathleen Mahoney, Robert Hamilton, Nigel Bankes and Sharon Mascher.
