Suzanne Bouclin holds a doctorate in Law from McGill University. Her dissertation, Street Law's Sites, Sights and Media refines the lexicon, theories and methods of cinematic studies and deploys them in relation to law. In the context of that research, she grapples with the institutionalized regulation of people who are street-involved and homeless. Professor Bouclin articled with a constitutional litigation firm in Toronto (Eberts, Symes, Street & Corbett) and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2002. Since that time, she has worked with national non profit organizations as Director of the Language Rights Program for the Court Challenges Program of Canada, Executive Director of the National Associations Active in Criminal Justice (NAACJ), and Research / Analyst with the National Association of Women in the Law (NAWL). She is currently a member of the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund's (LEAF) Legal Committee, Board Member of the Canadian Law and Society Association (CLSA), Board Member of the Indepdendent Filmmakers Cooperative of Ottawa (IFCO), and a member of the Canadian Poverty Law Journal's Editorial Committee. Prof. Bouclin has also been a committed volunteer with a number of community groups, such as Ottawa's Ticket Defence Program and Pro Bono Students Canada. Her areas of research, collaborations and publication include: performance and performativity in legal pedagogy, feminist aesthetics, law and popular culture, and the criminal regulation of vulnerable groups.
