Jennifer Nedelsky received her Ph.D from the interdisciplinary Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago in 1977. She began her full-time teaching career at the Politics Department at Princeton University (1979-1985). She joined the University of Toronto in 1985 and held a joint appointment between the Faculty of Law and the Department of Political Science until 2018. She left to join Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in part because Osgoode created a 50% appointment for her. Her first book was Private Property and the Limits of American Constitutionalism, followed by Law’s Relations: A Relational Theory of Self, Autonomy, and Law (2011). Her latest book is jointly authored with Tom Malleson, Part Time for All: A Care Manifesto (Oxford University Press, 2023). She is now returning to her book manuscript, “Judgment in Law and Life,” building on the unfinished theory of judgment of Hannah Arendt, her dissertation supervisor. (In 2001 she co-edited, with Ronald Beiner, Judgment, Imagination, and Politics: Themes from Kant and Arendt [Roman and Littlefield].) She is also returning to her work on property, to re-envision property law as founded on a sense of mutual care for and from the earth. The property project will be part of a larger project on revisioning constitutionalism from a more than human perspective. ("Transforming Constitutionalism from a More-than-Human Perspective," Review of Constitutional Studies 29, no. 2 (2025): 239-280 .) She is married to Joe Carens with whom she has two sons, Michael (1987) and Daniel (1990); their care and relationship have shaped all her work.
