Bio/Research

McClelland is an interdisciplinary sociolegal researcher who focuses on the intersections of life, law, and disease.

He was awarded a SSHRC Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship project with Chris Bruckert, University of Ottawa, entitled Confidentiality, anonymity & epistemological exclusion: challenges & strategies for realizing ethical & inclusive research, which has been examining the importance of promises of confidentiality within qualitative research projects focused on criminalized and socially sanctioned issues.

He has regularly engaged with the Federal and Ontario provincial governments in relation to his work on the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure. In 2019, he presented findings from his doctoral research as an expert witness to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights for their study on the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure. In 2018, he was invited to present to the policy roundtable on HIV criminalization reform with the Ontario Ministry of Justice and Attorney General and the Ontario Minister on the Status of Women. In 2017, he was engaged in a consultation on HIV criminalization legal reform with the Department of Justice Canada.
