Ayelet Shachar has been named the Canada Research Chair in Citizenship and Multiculturalism, and is cross-appointed to the Department of Political Science and the Munk School of Global Affairs. In 2006-2007, Professor Shachar served as the Leah Kaplan Visiting Professor in Human Rights at Stanford Law School, and in 2007-2008 she was named the Jeremiah Smith Jr. Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Her scholarship focuses on legal theory; citizenship and immigration law; highly skilled migrants; multiculturalism and women's rights; family law and cultural difference; law and religion in comparative perspective; transnational legal process and international ethics.
Her most recent book, The Birthright Lottery: Citizenship and Global Inequality, was published by Harvard University Press in 2009. It has been selected as a 2010 Notable Book by the International Ethics Section of the International Studies Association, in recognition of the book's "superior scholarship and contribution to the field of international ethics" and has already created a groundswell of interest.
Professor Shachar has received many academic awards and fellowships, including appointment as Member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Princeton's Law and Public Affairs Program, Emile Noël Senior Fellow at NYU School of Law, and Connaught Research Fellow at the University of Toronto. In recognition of her excellence in research and teaching, she has received the University's Provostial Merit Increase Award for five consecutive years. She also served as a Member of Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) national grant selection committe for legal scholarship and research.
Professor Shachar frequently delivers public lectures to academic and non-academic audiences alike. She has published extensively in leading law reviews, social science and political philosophy journals, such as Political Theory, the Journal of Political Philosophy, Philosophy & Social Criticism, Yale Law Journal, NYU Law Review, Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, and Perspectives on Politics. She is the author of Multicultural Jurisdictions: Cultural Differences and Women's Rights (Cambridge University Press, 2001), for which she won the American Political Science Association Best First Book Award in 2002. This work has proved influential, intervening in actual public policy and legislative debates in Canada and abroad. It was cited, most recently, by England's Archbishop of Canterbury (Civil and Religious Law in England), Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General (Dispute Resolution in Family Law: Protecting Choice, Promoting Inclusion), and the Supreme Court of Canada (Bruker v. Marcovitz)
