Prof. Guylaine Vallée is an Associate Professor at the University of Montreal, affiliated with the School of Industrial Relations within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. She specializes in labor law, employment law, and workplace relations, focusing on legal frameworks governing atypical work, flexible work arrangements, and human rights in employment contexts.
