Biography
Stephanie holds the Azrieli Accelerator Professorship in Law & Disability Policy. She is cross-appointed to the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Policy. Since 2021, Stephanie has worked with the Disability Policy Research Program at the School of Public Policy, which is led by Dr. Jennifer Zwicker.
As a post-doctoral scholar, Stephanie was the first recipient of the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Charlie Fischer Fellowship in Advancing Patient and Family-Oriented Research. The Charlie Fischer Fellowship has supported Stephanie’s work on the inequities in childhood disability law and policy in Canada between children disabled by injury versus those born with a disability, especially those with neurodevelopmental conditions.
Stephanie completed her JD at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and is a member of the Law Society of Ontario. She completed her LLM and DCL at McGill University’s Faculty of Law. In 2014, during her graduate studies at McGill, Stephanie was injured in a car accident and became a wheelchair user. As a new member of the disability community, Stephanie brings lived experience to her research on disability law and policy.
