Biographie

La professeure Ellis, qui détient une nomination jointe à l’École d’environnement, enseigne et poursuit ses recherches dans les domaines du droit international de l'environnement, du droit international public, de la théorie juridique internationale et des relations internationales.

Sa dissertation doctorale portait principalement sur les principes du droit environnemental international et leur influence sur le développement de principes internationaux pour la protection de l'environnement.

Sa recherche actuelle porte notamment sur la protection de l’environnement et la gestion des ressources naturelles dans les espaces communs tels la haute mer; les acteurs non étatiques et la gouvernance environnementale; et l’intersection entre le droit et les systèmes sociaux, y compris la science.

En 2007, Jaye Ellis était nommée Chercheuse Hydro-Québec en droit du développement durable.
