Biographical history

Beverley Baines is a Professor of Public and Constitutional Law at Queen's University, Kingston. Her work focuses on illuminating the legal strategies the patriarchal state deploys in denying women their right to equality, something guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Her passion for this issue dates from her work as a feminist constitutional consultant, first to the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women and then to the Ad Hoc Committee of Women on the Constitution during the Charter debates of 1980-1982.Professor Baines earned a BA Hons (Economics and Political Science) from McGill University and a JD from Queen’s University (Kingston, ON.), following which she articled with Trumpour and Kennedy in Kingston. She later joined Queen’s Law as a faculty member, was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada, and served as Associate Dean in the Faculty of Law (1994-1997). Seconded twice to the Facultyof Arts and Science at Queen’s, she was Co-Coordinator of the Institute of Women’s Studies (1991-1993) and Head of the Department of Gender Studies (2004-2011).Professor Baines co-edited two books on women and constitutional law: The Gender of Constitutional Jurisprudence (2005) and Feminist Constitutionalism: Global Perspectives (2012). She has published papers and delivered international conference presentations that focus on giving voice to the intersectional claims of religious women living polygamously, accessing faith-based family law arbitrations,and wearing the niqab in Ontario courtrooms or when delivering and receiving public services in Quebec. She also writes about gender and the legal profession, including the Trinity Western law school controversy, United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s call for the appointment of nine women justices on the American Supreme Court, and the history of women law professors in Canada.

Beverley Baines est professeure de droit public et constitutionnel à l'université Queen's de Kingston. Son travail consiste à mettre en lumière les stratégies juridiques que l'État patriarcal déploie pour priver les femmes de leur droit à l'égalité, garanti par la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. Sa passion pour cette question remonte à son travail de consultante constitutionnelle féministe, d'abord auprès du Conseil consultatif canadien sur la situation de la femme, puis auprès du Comité ad hoc des femmes sur la Constitution pendant les débats sur la Charte de 1980-1982.Le professeur Baines a obtenu un BA Hons (économie et sciences politiques) de l'université McGill et un JD de l'université Queen's (Kingston, ON.), après quoi elle a fait son stage chez Trumpour and Kennedy à Kingston. Elle a ensuite rejoint la faculté de droit de Queen's en tant que membre du corps enseignant, a été admise au Barreau du Haut-Canada et a occupé le poste de doyenne associée de la faculté de droit (1994-1997). Détachée à deux reprises à la faculté des arts et des sciences de Queen's, elle a été co-coordinatrice de l'Institut d'études féminines (1991-1993) et directrice du département d'études sur le genre (2004-2011) : The Gender of Constitutional Jurisprudence (2005) et Feminist Constitutionalism : Global Perspectives (2012). Elle a publié des articles et fait des présentations lors de conférences internationales qui portent sur la prise en compte des revendications intersectionnelles des femmes religieuses qui vivent en polygamie, qui ont accès à des arbitrages religieux en droit de la famille et qui portent le niqab dans les salles d'audience de l'Ontario ou lorsqu'elles fournissent ou reçoivent des services publics au Québec. Elle écrit également sur le genre et la profession juridique, notamment sur la controverse de la faculté de droit Trinity Western, sur l'appel de la juge de la Cour suprême des États-Unis Ruth Bader Ginsburg en faveur de la nomination de neuf femmes à la Cour suprême américaine, et sur l'histoire des femmes professeurs de droit au Canada.
