Prior to joining the Osgoode faculty in 2008, Sean Rehaag was a visiting scholar at the University of Montreal’s Chaire de recherche du Canada en droit international des migrations. He has also been a visiting scholar with the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at UC Hastings, a visiting researcher at the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, and an instructor at the University of Victoria and the University of Sherbrooke. His doctoral dissertation, which received the Alan Marks Medal for best graduate thesis in 2008 at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, used a legal pluralist approach to assess the competing legal claims that arise when faith-based communities offer sanctuary to unsuccessful refugee claimants to prevent their deportation. Professor Rehaag’s research and teaching focus on migration law and human rights, as well as on the role that legal norms and institutions play in controversies that implicate multiple communities. He is currently teaching Immigration Law (Fall), Refugee Law (Fall) and Legal Process (Winter).
