Profile
Lindsay Massara is a PhD student at the Peter A. Allard School of Law. Her research examines episodes of emergency and martial law from late nineteenth and early twentieth century British colonial India. Constructing a genealogy or history of the present, Lindsay positions emergency as a lens through which to magnify important relationships and enduring dependencies in common law between race, property logics, and a rule of law.
In addition to her doctoral research, Lindsay works as a Research Assistant for Dr. Brenna Bhandar. She served as Co-Chair for the 24th Interdisciplinary Legal Studies Graduate Conference, which convened on May 4-5, 2023, at Allard Law.
