Dawn Moore
Professor, Law and Legal Studies

Email: dawn.moore@carleton.ca 

Moore is available to speak to police brutality in responding to gender-based violence, investigation and evidence collection – especially as intimidation tactics, Canada’s vigorous prosecution and no drop polices as well as the impacts of COVID. Moore’s research explores theoretical questions about narrative and artifacts by looking substantively at the role of photographic evidence of victim’s injuries in cases of interpersonal assault.

Her work draws on feminism, queer theory, Actor-Network Theory and cultural studies to explore the relationships between victim’s own ‘stories’ and the ways in which photos of their bodies are used to narrate how their injuries were acquired.
