Kira Tomsons comes to the University of Manitoba from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she was completing her Ph.D. in Philosophy.  Her work centers around understanding the nature of oppression and what that means for social and political justice.  Other areas of interest included environmental ethics and bioethics, philosophy of law and feminism.  She spent her formative years as an undergraduate at Acadia University, enjoyed her time as a Masters student at Queen's University and is looking forward to Winnipeg winters.
