Background

About Daniel del Gobbo

I am an Assistant Professor and Chair in Law, Gender & Sexual Justice at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. My research falls at the intersections of civil procedure and dispute resolution, human rights and equality law, restorative justice, legal ethics, and gender and sexuality. A former litigator, my research borrows concepts from critical theory and integrates them into procedural law debates, troubling the field's foundations and reimagining the law's role in facilitating access to justice and social justice for historically marginalized groups. My book, Feminist Frontlines: Campus Sexual Violence and Conflict Resolution, is under contract with the University of Toronto Press. Before joining Windsor Law, I was a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the McGill University Faculty of Law from 2021 to 2023. I earned my S.J.D. from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2021, where I was a Trudeau Scholar, SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, and CBA Viscount Bennett Fellow. I was a Visiting Scholar at Columbia Law School's Center for Gender and Sexuality Law in 2019. Previously, I earned my LL.M. from Harvard Law School in 2015 and J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2011. A committed teacher and mentor, I served as an Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School from 2015 to 2019, where I received two awards for teaching excellence and promoting equity in the classroom. My professional and community work are committed to the public interest. Previously, I have collaborated with the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Status of Women Canada, and International Committee of the Red Cross on projects relating to civil litigation, restorative justice, sexual violence, humanitarian negotiation, women’s rights, and LGBTQ2 equality. My media commentary has appeared in The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Policy Options, The Conversation, National Post, Lawyer's Daily, CP24, and CBC Radio. Complementing this work, I have worked as a consultant with the Cambridge Negotiation Institute, a U.S-based think tank that is focused on new frontiers in conflict management, facilitation, capacity building, and emotional intelligence research. At Windsor Law, I teach Civil Procedure, Dispute Resolution, and Law and Sexuality. Most of my publications are available on SSRN.
