Salisha Purushuttam
Law & Society 2017
My York education was delivered by the most phenomenal professors. Although my professional goals have changed throughout my degree, my professors and mentors never wavered in challenging and encouraging me to push the boundaries of my knowledge and to incorporate my research interests and passion for social justice, writing, and research into my coursework.
My education in Law and Society served as a springboard which launched me forward into my Masters and has allowed me to pursue my research interests and desired career path of academic and policy research and analysis. I'm also working at Osgoode Hall Law School exploring environmental justice for Indigenous communities in Canada, which would not have been possible were it not for my education at York.
