Emilie Weidl

Émilie Weidl graduated from the Law and Politics program in May of 2020. She worked within the department under the Outstanding Scholars program for three years, as well as a Teaching Assistant for one. She is the co-author with Dr. Emmanuelle Richez of a chapter in the forthcoming LexisNexis publication The Political and Constitutional Legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. In the last year of her undergrad, she was part of the first cohort of the political science thesis option, writing her thesis on the experiences of Franco-Ontarians under the French Language Services Act in comparison with the Acadian experience under official bilingualism in New Brunswick. Émilie is currently in her first year at McGill Faculty of Law’s BCL/JD program

I wouldn’t trade my time at UWindsor Political Science for anything. The incredible professors I met and experiences I had paved the way for my path forward. Working on research with some of our professors inspired me to aim for a career in academia. I also took advantage of the courses taught in French at the faculty and am currently taking almost all of my law courses at McGill in French, which I don’t think I would have been able to do had it not been for the vocabulary and writing skills gained in those French-language Political Science classes!
