Bio/Research
Prior to his postgraduate studies, Luke Taylor worked as a commercial litigator in Australia, and served as legal research officer at the High Court of Australia. He has also taught courses on legal method and reasoning, legal history, and gender issues in the law at the University of Toronto, McGill University, and the University of New South Wales.
Taylor’s research traverses contemporary and historical dimensions of Canadian, English and Australian family law, employment law and criminal law, and the intersections of these fields with questions of gender and sexuality.
He is particularly interested in the development of the field of family law in different national contexts; the diffusion of legal ideas concerning the family and sexuality throughout the British Empire in the 19th century; and contemporary dimensions of the regulation of adult personal relationships. His work has appeared in, among others, the University of Toronto Law Journal, the McGill Law Journal, and Law & History Review.
Taylor holds an SJD and LLM from the University of Toronto, where he was a CGS Bombardier scholar and received the Marks Medal in 2018-19. In 2019-20, he was the Boulton Fellow at the Faculty of Law, McGill University.
