José López is a Professor specializing in Sociology at the University of Ottawa. His current research, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), focuses on the emergence of the Right to Food, marking a significant shift in his research agenda towards empirical inquiries in new areas such as Food Studies and Political Economy. He examines the intersection of Human Rights with Law, and explores the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) of genetic and genomic technologies within the Canadian context. His work seeks to refine conceptual tools for discourse analysis and includes empirical investigations into the emergence of discursive formations in bioethics and science policy. López is also engaged in exploring narrative strategies within social discourse, and his upcoming manuscript, 'Sociology of Human Rights', reflects his ongoing interests in the political imaginary of human rights. Through his empirical work, he emphasizes the significance of social materiality and language as essential components of sociological theory and discourse.
