Jaye Ellis, D.C.L.
Professor Ellis, who holds a joint appointment with the McGill School of Environment, teaches and conducts research in the fields of international environmental law, public international law, international legal theory and international relations.
Her D.C.L. focused on principles of international environmental law and their influence on the development of international regimes for environmental protection.
Jaye Ellis’s current research project focuses on the intersections among law, politics, economics, ethics, and science as these social systems are brought to bear on problems of environmental degradation. One facet of this research addresses the increased importance of transnational law, paying particular attention to the role of non-state actors in transnational space.
Professor Ellis is interested in supervising graduate students working on international legal theory, transnational law and non-state actors, constitutionalisation of international law, science and technology studies, and autopoietic theory.
