    Profile

    “Since its beginnings a few short years ago, the Trudeau Foundation has created a lively community of academics, policy-makers and artists who share a common commitment to fostering the role of sophisticated policy debate in the Canadian public sphere. The Trudeau Scholarship is, therefore, not only a source of material support for doctoral studies, but first and foremost an opportunity to join this community of ideas, breaking down traditional barriers both within academia itself and between research and policy-making. As a lawyer, I have benefited enormously from the numerous discussions with philosophers, economists, historians and scientists associated with the Foundation, in a cooperative and relaxed intellectual environment that has few equivalents. Thanks to the Foundation’s emphasis on broad dissemination of ideas, I have been able to travel widely, present and publish my research internationally, and create multiple networks in my areas of specialization. The Scholarship thus played a major role in my transition from a practicing lawyer to an active participant in what I believe are timely and crucially important debates on international law and economic governance. In sum, it has been an honour and a great privilege to be associated with the Foundation over the past three years.”
