Megan Ross

Megan joined PATH in January of 2024 after relocating to Nova Scotia. Initially called to the bar in Alberta in 2010, she started her legal career practicing at a large firm. In 2012, she moved to New York and obtained a Master of Laws (LLM) in International Human Rights Law from New York University’s Faculty of Law, while also working as a legal consultant at the Department of Policy and Planning for UNICEF. She then moved to Toronto where she completed a Doctorate in Juridical Science (SJD) in 2020. Megan's research looked at how international human trafficking laws developed at the League of Nations, and the surprising influence of American evangelical philanthropists. Since 2016, she has taught feminist and queer legal theory at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law and Department of Women and Gender Studies; Emory University’s Department of Philosophy; and Dalhousie’s Political Science Department.

Megan volunteers her time supporting several vulnerable and marginalized communities, including sex workers and people experiencing criminalization. She has been published in the Duke Journal of Gender, Law, and Policy and the Southern University Law Center Journal of Race, Gender, and Poverty.

Megan currently practices in prison law and civil rights litigation.
