Graham Hudson holds a B.A. (Hons) in History and Philosophy from York University, a J.D. from the University of Toronto, an LL.M. from Queen's University, and a Ph.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School. His dissertation focused on the use of secret evidence in the Canadian security certificate regime.
Hudson’s research is in the areas of jurisdiction, the local governance of migration, urban securitization, constitutional law, and legal pluralism. His current research is organized around a SSHRC-funded socio-legal study of the sanctuary city/access without fear movement in Canada. It aims to identify factors affecting the implementation of sanctuary policies, with special emphasis on community capacity building and the strengthening of municipal jurisdiction over privacy and data. Hudson is also conducting research on the use of secret evidence in Canadian courts, including security certificates, terrorism trials, and civil litigation.
