@YadeshaS 👏

[Yadesha Satheaswaran @YadeshaS]

Thank you for having me.

Every day, I try to think critically about what it means to be a lawyer in a (neo)colonial system that has and continues to inflict violence on marginalized bodies.

We need disruption, not complacency. We need action, not performance.

[Critical Studies in Equity and Solidarity UofT @csesuoft]

A heartfelt thank you to @YadeshaS for taking part in the CSES Alumni Series and sharing your invaluable experiences and insights!
