Shireen Hassim, an internationally renowned expert in feminist theory, politics, social movements and collective action, spent the 2017-2018 academic year as a distinguished visiting professor<\/a> at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after returning to her faculty position at the University of the Witwatersrand in her native South Africa for a few months when the Harvard fellowship finished, Hassim has arrived at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University for a seven-year term as Canada 150 Research Chair in Gender and African Politics \u2013 part of a $117.6-million federal program<\/a> to create two dozen<\/a> new research chairs and enhance the country\u2019s efforts to become a destination of choice for leading scholars and scientists from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCanada is seen as a beacon of science around the world because of our strong commitment to science, research and evidence-based decision making,\u201d Science Minister Kirsty Duncan<\/a> said during a ceremony at the Canadian Museum of History last spring to introduce 12 of the new chairs, including Hassim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
