Biography

Jennifer Raso is an Assistant Professor at McGill University’s Faculty of Law, where she teaches Administrative Process and Poverty Law. Her research investigates the relationship between discretion and data-driven technologies in administrative law, particularly how humans and non-humans collaborate and diverge in producing institutional decisions, and the consequences for procedural fairness and substantive justice. Currently, she is exploring issues related to the SSHRC Insight Development Grant project titled 'Shifting Front Lines of the Digital Welfare State: Coding Canadian Social Assistance Laws.' Before joining McGill, Professor Raso served as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law, a visiting fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project, and a visiting researcher at the University of California Berkeley Center for the Study of Law and Society. She is an award-winning socio-legal scholar, having received the Canadian Law Society Association’s English-Language Article prize in 2018 and the inaugural Richard Hart Prize at the University of Cambridge’s Public Law Conference in 2016. Her work has received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada) and the Endeavour Fellowships Program (Australia).
