Dr. Irina Ceric

Biography

Irina Ceric joined the Faculty of Law at the University of Windsor as an Assistant Professor in July 2022. She holds a PhD from Osgoode Hall Law School and has substantial experience in teaching, legal practice, and community engagement. Her research interests focus on the intersection of law and social movements, particularly the regulation and criminalization of dissent movements and issues of social and environmental justice, as well as Indigenous sovereignty. She has published extensively on the use of injunctions and contempt of court, which arose from her work as a lawyer and legal support organizer. Currently, Professor Ceric is writing a book based on her doctoral research, which traces the history and politics of the movement for defense in Canada during the late 1990s. Her research employs activist-scholar methodologies and draws from scholarly literature related to law and society, social movement studies, clinical legal education, and abolitionism. In her teaching, she offers courses on Property Law and Access to Justice.
