Bio/Research
Ravi Malhotra joined the Faculty of Law in 2006. He obtained an LL.M. from Harvard in 2002, and completed his S.J.D. at the University of Toronto in 2007, having been awarded a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship. His doctoral dissertation dealt with the implications of globalization for labour law in the context of workers with disabilities. While he was an S.J.D. candidate in residency at the University of Toronto, Professor Malhotra was an adjunct faculty member at the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Law where he taught International Human Rights. His primary research interests are in the areas of Labour and Employment Law, Human Rights, Globalization and Disability Rights Law.
Before resuming his legal studies, Professor Malhotra articled at a major union side law firm in Ottawa, a firm specializing in labour and employment law and human rights. He was also a researcher for the disability rights organization, Reach, and contributed to their reports on barriers faced by law students with disabilities. He was Called to the Bar of Ontario in 2001. He has published widely in a number of journals including the Journal of Law & Equality, the Harvard International Law Journal, New Politics, the Washington University Journal of Law & Policy, the Manitoba Law Journal, the Ottawa Law Review, the Journal of Law & Social Policy, Socialism & Democracy, the Supreme Court Law Review, and the Alberta Law Review. He is currently working on two books. One, a biography of double amputee and politician E.T. Kingsley, with Dr. Benjamin Isitt, is under contract with University of British Columbia Press and is based on research funded through SSHRC. A second book based on empirical interview data with young adults with disabilities, with Morgan Rowe, is under contract with Routledge.
He also contributed a book chapter on John Rawls and disability rights for the recent anthology, Critical Disability Theory: Essays in Philosophy, Politics, Policy and Law (University of British Columbia Press), edited by Richard Devlin and Dianne Pothier and another book chapter on Martha Nussbaum and the Granovsky case for The Canadian Charter of Rights at Twenty Five (Toronto: LexisNexis Butterworths, 2008), edited by Joseph Magnet and Bernard Adell. An article (with Professor Robin Hansen of the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan) on Article 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is forthcoming in the Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice.
Professor Malhotra is a member of the Human Rights Committee of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities and the Education Committee of the Canadian Centre for Disability Studies.
