Biography
Associate Professor Ron Levy researches and writes on public law and political theory, especially constitutional law, the law of politics, and deliberative democracy. He is the winner of several research awards including grants from the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Australian Research Council. Ron was recently a chief investigator on two ARC Discovery Projects: 'The Law of Deliberative Democracy: Theory and Reform' (DP130100706, 2013-2015) bridging research on election law with deliberative democratic theory; and 'Confronting the Devolution Paradox' (DP140102682, 2014-2016) on federalism and political culture.
Ron co-wrote The Law of Deliberative Democracy (Routledge, 2016, with Graeme Orr) and was guest co-editor-in-chief of the Election Law Journal for its 2013 symposium issue on the same topic. He is also the lead editor of The Cambridge Handbook of Deliberative Constitutionalism (CUP, 2018; with Hoi Kong, Graeme Orr and Jeff King). Ron's other projects include studies of constitutional reform, including prospects for reform via deliberative democracy in conflict societies. He has published works on law and political theory, in five countries, in books and journals including Public Law, McGill Law Journal, UBC Law Review, UNSW Law Journal, Melbourne University Law Review, Griffith Law Review, Public Law Review, Election Law Journal and The Oxford Handbook of Deliberative Democracy.
Ron is the General Editor of the Federal Law Review.
Ron also co-directs the Project on Deliberative Governance and Law, hosted jointly at ANU and the University of British Columbia. The project is an international network of scholars advancing research on institutional innovations based on studies of law, governance and deliberative democracy; and a platform for innovative ideas to influence domestic and international approaches to governance.
Ron has been a Visitor at Yale Law School, Cambridge University, Stanford University, McGill University and King's College London. He previously worked in the Ministry of the Attorney-General of Ontario, Constitutional Law Branch.
