Tess Sheldon joined the University of Windsor Faculty of Law in 2018. She writes, presents, and teaches extensively on a variety of topics including mental health, access to justice, and disability human rights. Dr. Sheldon completed her doctorate at the University of Toronto, exploring legal issues raised by the covert administration of medication in psychiatric settings. She has practiced exclusively within Ontario’s legal clinic system at the ARCH Disability Law Centre and Justice for Children and Youth. Dr. Sheldon’s research focuses on coercive medication administration practices within psychiatric settings and scrutinizes the role of law in protecting and promoting the health of communities. Her work explores the law's possibilities and perils in confronting regimes that reflect and reinforce the economic and social exclusion of persons with disabilities and consumers/survivors within the psychiatric system.
