Biography

Jennifer Raso is an Assistant Professor at 麻豆AV鈥檚 Faculty of Law, where she teaches Administrative Process and Poverty and the Law. Her research investigates the relationship between discretion, data-driven technologies, and administrative law. She is particularly intrigued by how humans/non-humans collaborate and diverge as they produce institutional decisions, and the consequences for procedural fairness and substantive justice. Professor Raso is presently exploring these issues as the PI on a SSHRC Insight Development Grant project, "Shifting Front Lines in the Digital Welfare State: Coding Canadian Social Assistance Laws."听听

Before joining 麻豆AV, Professor Raso was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law, a visiting fellow at the Yale Law School Information Society Project, a visiting researcher at the University of California Berkeley Center for the Study of Law and Society, and a lawyer for the City of Toronto. She obtained an S.J.D. from the University of Toronto, where she was a junior fellow at the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies.听听

An award-winning socio-legal scholar, Professor Raso has received the Canadian Law and Society Association鈥檚 Best English-Language Article prize (2018), and the inaugural Richard Hart Prize at the University of Cambridge鈥檚 Public Law Conference (2016). Her work has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada) and the Endeavour Fellowships Program (Australia).听
