Annette's research interests are in the areas of the sociology of law, work and occupations, research methods, and gender.  Her research has examined workplace sexual harassment complaints, Canadian judicial decisions on wrongful dismissal, and the social construction of professional authority in law school classrooms.  In her more recent research, Annette is focused on the Canadian statutory human rights framework and its implications for public policy.  A recent publication from this project examines the rise of comprehensive sexual orientation equality rights in Canada and the role played by the federal human rights commission in facilitating their emergence. 

Annette completed her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in 2001.  In 2003, she was a visiting scholar at the Center for the Study of Law and Society, University of California, Berkeley.  From 2006-08, Annette served as the Senior Researcher at the Research and Statistical Analysis Division of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.  In this appointment, she coordinated and developed sociological research on human rights issues in the Canadian context.
