Sabine Tsuruda is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and holds the Canada Research Chair in Work Law (Tier 2).

- PhD, Philosophy, University of California, Los Angeles

Her research spans broad themes of equality, workers’ rights, and the philosophical foundations of labour and contract law. She interrogates how legal doctrines can either entrench or ameliorate social inequalities and explores innovative frameworks for fairer employment relationships.
Across her publications, Tsuruda consistently examines the intersection of contract theory with anti-discrimination norms, religious freedom, and racial justice. Recent work addresses unconscionability in contracting, collective bargaining, and the moral obligations of employers and the state toward temporary migrant workers.
