She has a doctorate from Johns Hopkins. A widely published and respected author, Dr. Mancke’s research interests address the impact of European overseas expansion on governance and political systems, from local government to international relations. From 2014 to 2017 she assisted the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation on their successful Specific Land Claim as an expert witness. While working on that case, she became first interested and then concerned about how the Royal Proclamation of 1763 was understood within the broader context of jurisdictional conflicts in British America and within the shifting geopolitics among Indigenous nations and among European empires. Her plenary address is a fresh examination of an important constitutional development of the early modern era. Lunch break: 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Innovative Pedagogical Approaches for Presenting the Law of Evidence to the Screen Generation (Allard 122) Teaching law to the ‘screen generation’ poses serious challenges, including dealing with students with minimal attention spans and competing with the host of easily available distractions on laptops. Studies have indicated that the growing disengagement in the law classroom is most pronounced in large upper year courses with complex materials. This panel aims to document the significant challenges of teaching Evidence to the ‘screen generation’ and outline various pedagogical approaches which can be used to deeply engage students in learning the substantive law, understanding its application, and developing a critical analysis.

Roundtable: Project Fact(a): Issues in a Criminal Trial Worth Reconciling (R v Stanley) (Allard 105) In April 2018, a group of legal researchers came together to examine the many legal dimensions of R v Stanley. Called Project Fact(a), the group reviewed the trial and acquittal of Gerald Stanley, a Saskatchewan farmer who shot and killed Colten Boushie, a 22-year-old Cree man. The goal of this unique project is to highlight the underexamined social and legal matters leading up to, during, and after the trial. R v Stanley is more than a single trial; it serves as a flashpoint in Canadian-Indigenous relationships. The case has triggered conversations and debates locally, nationally and internationally on many legal and political issues. Project Fact(a) researchers have created resources for those interested in introducing the issues raised by R v Stanley in the law school classroom, publications for general audiences, and articles aimed at the academy and the legal profession. This Roundtable will bring a selection of Project Fact(a) members together to reflect on the Project Fact(a) process and the resources created, highlighting how criminal cases include many subjects beyond criminal law.

Unenforced or Unenforceable? Tenant-Researcher Perspectives on Legislative Gaps in Protecting Human Rights in Vancouver’s Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Hotels (Allard 121) The Right to Remain (R2R) is a participatory action research project that is working to support grassroots efforts to advocate for the right to safe and healthy housing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Focusing on the neighbourhood’s last remaining single room occupancy (SRO) hotels, our research has supported local tenant organizing within this form of historically
Page 13
P a g e | 13 maligned housing that still provides over 4500 welfare-rate private sector units in the city. Our project is revealing the critical role that the SRO has played in prompting a decades-long legacy of rights-based struggle for housing justice led by the city’s most vulnerable and politically active citizens. Through tenant-led interviewing, archival research, and arts-based methods – including participatory haiku making – R2R is now working to mobilize shared histories of rights and place within current tenant organizing strategies towards safe housing and legal protections against the loss of SROs to an increasingly unaffordable market.
