Pierre (any pronouns) is a queer, disabled, non-binary, white settler Assistant Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies. Their research focuses on two broad areas—environmental law, particularly the marine environment, and trans justice—and their intersection manifested by the concept of queer ecology. Pierre is currently working on a project on the re-emergence of CHamoru (the Indigenous People of Guam) environmental law/governance and enhancing CHamoru self-determination. They are also working on a project seeking to uncovering the meaning of “trans justice” for the Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming community. Finally, they are studying what queer theory can teach us about human-animal relations. Before joining academia, Pierre was a practicing lawyer, and they remain a member of the Law Society of Ontario. They look forward to bringing their skills in action to improve the working conditions of Carleton’s faculty (professors and instructors) and librarians.

Dipto has represented the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies on Council since 2021. He will take on the work of External Officer while the incumbent, Mayurika, will be on sabbatical leave.

What motivates him to do this work are the same concerns and values he has invested in GIS science, human geography, and digital geography. That is, he endeavours to provide an environment where everyone is welcome irrespective of their gender, sexual orientation, social background, or disabilities. Witnessing the worrying degradation of working conditions and academic freedom for intellectual colleagues around the world, he wants to be a part of the resistance that protects the right for Canadian scholars.
