The Project Legislation, Innovation and Society (LEXIS) is led by Pierre Noreau and coordinated by Yan Sénéchal. Funded by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2024-2029), LEXIS is a research partnership bringing together 61 coinvestigators and 28 collaborators working at 34 Canadian and international universities, as well as 37 partners from academic, non-profit, and institutional sectors. LEXIS focuses on the study of citizen participation in law-making. The project aims to analyse the processes that lead to the emergence of topics under deliberation and their initiation, the procedures that foster the mobilization and participation of those involved, and the mechanisms that allow for the aggregation of the results of these deliberations and ensure their impact. LEXIS will lead to the modelling of deliberative systems that promote citizen participation in legislation and the mapping of the conditions for their institutionalization.

N.A.

The Project provided an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of the phenomenon of domestic work, including some new empirical research. It mainly concerned the nature of the legal regulation of domestic work and domestic workers, contextualized by socio-legal and socio-economic analysis. Its focus is on law and society, including the impact of changes in the law on society, and encompassed both issues arising from domestic work and issues concerning domestic workers. The Project is focused on Portugal, where there has been no study of the legal implications of the nature of domestic work and the employment relationship, the identity of the workers, or the wider impact of the commodification of such domestic work. It will also consider, in a comparison, the United Kingdom, Brazil, India and Mozambique.
