鈥淒r. Beaudry brings exceptional talents as a scholar and will take up a leadership role in relation to disability studies at McGill,鈥� added Dean Robert Leckey. 鈥淚 am excited about the potential for his joint appointment to strengthen ties still further between the Faculty of Law and the Institute of Health and Social Policy.鈥�
