Profile
Lecturer, Department of Law, London School of Economics and Political Science
"The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation scholarship encouraged me to expand my intellectual horizons and to articulate the argument of my doctoral thesis through the lens of many disciplines of thought, including political science, political philosophy, and law. With its community of members, the Foundation situated me beyond the academic world and had me engage with the other worlds of public policy. The Trudeau Scholarship also assisted me to share with and to learn from researchers the world over. In short, by opening the environment of the academic, the Trudeau Foundation has sought to expand the very meaning of academic."
