Is a feminist rewriting of the criminal law possible or advisable? I conclude the paper with a "found poem" constructed from the words of a leading Ontario case, R. v. Aziga, to suggest a new and more promising path forward in HIV non-disclosure cases. 3/3

Publication drop! In my new paper "Finding Equality" published in the JLE @utlaw, I explore the possibilities and limits of feminist judgment projects in Canada, with a focus on creative rewriting as a means of radical legal and political organizing. 1/3

I explore this methodology in the context of HIV non-disclosure, a problematic area of the criminal law that punishes racialized immigrants and queer people disproportionately, criminalizing what is more effectively treated as a public health and human rights issue. 2/3

@MichaelPlaxton Thank you for the thoughtful engagement and comments, Michael. I appreciate it!

In this article, I explain what the rise of transphobic rhetoric means for Canadian universities, with a focus on campus violence. Recalling the ⁦@UWaterloo⁩ attack in a “gender studies” class in 2023, schools must act to protect students now. https://t.co/kBJKo5DArT

[Daniel Del Gobbo (Bsky: danieldelgobbo) @danieldelgobbo]

In this article, my first in a two-part series for ⁦@IRPP⁩ released today, I explain there is a continuity between trans rights and women’s rights in the U.S and Canada. Our struggles for gender equality should be united, not opposed. https://t.co/XFmrMsKYk5

[Daniel Del Gobbo (Bsky: danieldelgobbo) @danieldelgobbo]

I’ve written three op-eds in response to the mainstreaming of transphobic rhetoric in Canada and the US. Here, ⁦@ashaholland_⁩ ⁦⁦@WindsorLaw⁩ and I explain the moral panic around trans athletes and how schools can protect trans students. https://t.co/1pOT4upYAF

Grateful for this engagement by @GallantToronto @INMagazineCA with my research on the "LGBT Purge" class action settlement, a formative event in Canadian queer history.

Should 2SLGBTQI+ people always forgive and forget the injustices that they've faced?:

The project asks whether #RJ can support a new vision of legal ethics within communities and across systems that can raise the moral consciousness of lawyers, facilitate collaboration, promote social justice, and redefine the role of lawyers as change agents. 2/2

Good news to share! I'm honoured to be named the OBA Foundation Chief Justice of Ontario Fellow in Legal Ethics and Professionalism Research, 2024-25. 🥳

My project explores what a restorative justice-inspired approach to legal ethics in Canada might look like. @OBAlawyers 1/2

Comments and conversations are welcome. Thank you to everyone who made this research possible, including the excellent @OHLJ editors and my network of queer friends, mentors, and allies who kept me focused and grounded in the work. 6/6🌈

Over three years in the making, the article is a labour of love for bringing together my passions for civil procedure, ADR, law and emotions, and queer theory. I hope it "troubles" the way we think about the relationship between settlements, forgiveness, and social justice. 5/6
