Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship (2023)
M.H. (Man Ha) Tse
M.H. (Man Ha) Tse is the 2024-2026 Inaugural Postdoctoral Fellow in Animal Law at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, where she has attended as a guest lecturer in Professor Angela Fernandez’s Animals and the Law class since 2022. M.H. received her S.J.D. from Harvard Law School, where she was affiliated with the Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program. She was the recipient of the Harvard Law School Landon H. Gammon Fellowship for academic excellence and served as a Teaching Fellow of the Harvard Law School Graduate Program. M.H. received her LL.M. from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, in 2015 and was awarded the W.C.G. Howland Prize for the most outstanding performance in the LL.M. programme. Prior to her work in legal scholarship, she served as a Senior Counsel for the Department of Justice in Toronto, Canada. M.H.’s main areas of research are animal law, property law, and resource extraction law. Her postdoctoral research examines the human practice of animal bodily extraction as a distinct form of violence which she has termed domestic predation. Her work describes how the ascendance of this predatory style has shaped key features of our legal landscape, including broad elements of our system of property, the construction of the legal person, and a distinct legal structure for the creation of seemingly paradoxical realms of legalized violence — areas within the law where legal protections are withdrawn — which M.H. has identified as a law of predation.
M.H. is also the creator and director of The Museum of Human Predation, at https://the-arc.org/museum, which is part of the Animal Remembrance Commission. The mission of the Museum, which includes an online archive, pop-up exhibits, and print publications, is to preserve a material record of the human practice of domestic predation on other animals and to provide a resource for public reflection on this practice.
M.H.’s most recent scholarly publication is “Animals as Property: Stories About the Legal Origins of Human Predatory Violence,” in The Oxford Handbook of Global Animal Law, ed. Anne Peters, Saskia Stucki, and Kristen Stilt (Oxford Univ. Press, forthcoming).
