She is the author of two influential books—Troubling Sex: Towards a Legal Theory of Sexual Integrity and Putting Trial on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession—with a third book, Porn on the Platform: Sexual Integrity in a Data Driver Era, forthcoming in 2024.

Craig’s research pioneers feminist and queer theoretical frameworks to deconstruct constitutional law, evidence standards, and legal conceptions of sexuality. Her scholarship confronts systemic failures in sexual assault adjudication, critiques censorship regimes, and reimagines sexual integrity as a foundational legal principle. She challenges heteronormative assumptions in jurisprudence while advocating for marginalized perspectives in legal discourse.
Her distinguished recognition includes:
- Trudeau Scholar (2007)
Craig’s Trudeau Fellowship catalyzed transformative engagement with Canadian public policy, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge legal theory and social justice advocacy. While specific grant details remain undisclosed, her sustained publication trajectory underscores rigorous, policy-relevant scholarship driving discourse on law’s role in sexual autonomy.
