Sovereignty, Difference & Constitutional Pluralism
Both Canada and the European Union feature multiple overlapping legal systems, each with independent sovereignty claims and distinctive cultural traditions. Courts in both settings have therefore been forced to reckon with ‘constitutional pluralism’. In Canada, the contested relationship between Indigenous and settler legal orders has been mediated largely through s35, which recognizes Aboriginal rights, and s25 which shields them from the Canadi…
The Kids don’t want reconciliation, they want Land Back
Pandemics and Paradigms of Contestation
Paradigms of governance are defined in part by paradigms of contestation—stockpiles of culturally legible tactics for contesting power. This article analyzes the growing use of hard-block and mutual aid tactics in Metulia (sometimes called Victoria, B.C.) as exemplars that suggest liberal paradigms of contestation may be becoming less rigid. Drawing on Robert Cover and Charles Tilly, I argue that the present conjuncture is not, as many analyses s…
Democratic Multiplicity
This edited volume argues that democracy is broader and more diverse than the dominant state-centered, modern representative democracies, to which other modes of democracy are either presumed subordinate or ignored.

Rather, they argue that through differently situated participatory and representative practic…
Resurgence, Populism, and Politics ‘From Below’
Populist politics are an increasingly prominent feature of contemporary politics around the world.

The goal of this paper is to explore these phenomena side by side, and ask what they reveal about the present political conjuncture. I argue that both polit…
Ain't No Grave Deep Enough

The article results from 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted at the 'Tahitian Islander,' an apartment building in Florida for people with AIDs. This essay offers stories of three longtime residents as a way of describing and interpreting discourse that creates and maintains a sense of self and place. By using a narrative form that is built around dialogue, the author offers examples of how people with AIDS (PWAs) talk about themselves a…
