Sarah Levy

Sarah Levy is a legal scholar and educator whose work centres on marine conservation law, grounded in an interdisciplinary focus on environmental, animal, and Indigenous rights. Her work bridges scholarship and advocacy to examine how law operates as both an instrument of oppression and a tool of resistance in struggles for ecological and interspecies justice.
A PhD candidate at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, University of Oxford, Sarah’s current research explores the legal, regulatory, and sociocultural impacts of conflating distinct sealing practices in Canada, tracing how this conflation reinforces colonial and speciesist frameworks.
Called to the Bar of Ontario, Canada in 2020, Sarah currently teaches environmental and animal law at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, and lectures in public and private law at George Brown College, Toronto.
