Patrick Macklem has made exceptional contributions to Canadian constitutional law as it relates to Aboriginal peoples. Internationally recognized as foundational within and beyond his discipline, his constitutional publications - as well as his work on labour law and international human rights - manifest a deep commitment to interdisciplinarity and theoretical rigour. Awarded the Don Smiley Award and the Harold Innis Award in 2002, his recent book, Indigenous difference and the Constitution of Canada has effectively changed the terms of debate concerning the constitutional relationship between Aboriginal peoples and Canada. His contributions on international human rights and international criminal law are widely acclaimed for their theoretical reach and public significance.
