I am focusing on the relationship between labor rights and international trade. As part of my FLAS studies, I will research the North American Free Trade Agreement and its accompanying labor side agreement, the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation, in order to examine its effectiveness in improving compliance with and respect for core international labor standards, especially the comparative labor rights of immigrant workers in Canada and the US. By improving my French, this fellowship will allow me to pursue a legal career advocating for workers’ rights both at the national and international levels.
