Michael Pratt is an Associate Professor of Law, cross-appointed to Philosophy, at ���ϳԹ���Դ. He studied at the University of Toronto, where he earned his BSc and, following an LLB from Osgoode, his LLM. He later obtained a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Sydney. Professor Pratt joined ���ϳԹ���Դ Law in 2003, having previously taught at the University of Queensland and the University of Alberta. He served as Associate Dean, Graduate Studies and Research in 2015 and 2016. Professor Pratt teaches a range of subjects in private law, including contracts, torts, remedies, and advanced issues in contract law.

Professor Pratt pursues research along two fronts. The first straddles the disciplines of law and philosophy, and is devoted primarily to understanding the role of intention and consent in the creation and extinction of legal and moral obligations. He has written widely on the philosophical foundations of voluntary obligations, such as those that are generated by contracts and promises. Professor Pratt also researches and writes about the law of damages. The law governing the award of damages is understudied in Canada, despite its practical importance. In his research Professor Pratt draws on the fundamental principles of private law to clarify how damages ought to be assessed in tort and breach of contract cases.

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, cross-appointed with the Linguistics Program, with degrees from the University of Ottawa (BA, MA), and University of California, Los Angeles (MA, PhD in Philosophy; MA, CPhil in Linguistics). I did post-doctoral work at the  Center for Study of Language and Information of Stanford University in California and at the Centre de Recherche en Epistémologie Appliquée (now ) in Paris. I have taught philosophy as a Visiting Professor at UCLA and at the University of Barcelona, where I am a research affiliate of . I was elected President of the Canadian Philosophical Association in 2012. 

I work generally in the areas of philosophy of language, logic, philosophy of cognition, related issues in metaphysics & epistemology, natural language semantics, philosophy of linguistics and foundational issues in theoretical linguistics, and lately in legal philosophy and feminism (especially of the applied variety). Among my writings is a meticulous scrutiny of what exactly is wrong with masculine language serving double-duty as sex-neutral language; this paper won a Best Paper award from the American Philosophical Association. I acted as expert witness for two provincial Courts and the Supreme Court of Canada, defending gay couples seeking the right to marry against the claim that homosexual marriage is rendered logically impossible by the semantics of English. I have acted as expert witness on racial vs racist language in a defamation trial. I am highly concerned and outspoken about the treatment of women in Philosophy. I love teaching logic and am forever working on what I aim to be a user-friendly-yet-philosophically-sophisticated logic textbook. I am also at work on a philosophical novel about my experience at ���ϳԹ���Դ entitled: “My Brilliant Career as a Witch”.
