The 2020 Application and Nomination Review Committee
Now more than ever, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is deeply grateful for the devoted and critical role the Application and Nomination Review Committee (ANRC) played in the selection of our 2020 Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors.
Erin Aylward: How gains for SRHR in the UN have remained possible in a changing political climate
2015 Scholar Erin Aylward has co-authored an article in the journal Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters entitled How gains for SRHR in the UN have remained possible in a changing political climate. The article provides an overview of sexual and reproductive health and rights gains and setbacks within the UN Human Rights Council and analyses their broader significance, particularly as socially conservative nation states and non-governmental organisations seek to challenge them.

COVID-19 Impact Committee
Leadership and guidance are critical in a time of crisis, even more so in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic as it touches so many aspects of lives in such profound ways. The pandemic has indeed created an urgent need for informed public discussions that can guide citizens’ understanding of current developments and help guide responses to the crisis in various sectors.
This is the driving force behind the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation COVID-19 Impact Committee: to engage and educate the public on the implications of the pandemic in light of our four founding themes.

Rita Deverell: The Gift of History
Rita Deverell, 2010 mentor, reflects on her mother's life teachings and how relevant they can be for all of us in these uncertain times.
Danielle Peers: Inclinations
The film opens on an empty, institutional-feeling building. It could be almost any institutional building in these pandemic times. These, however, are the pre-COVID hallways and 100-foot ramp of the University of Alberta in summer, and the set for Inclinations, the film that Alice Sheppard and I are touring on the (now digital) film festival circuit. Choreographed, directed, and shot from disability perspectives, this 6-minute dance-on-film delves into the playful connections enabled where disability, community and ramp meet. It also delves into the discordant eugenic and racist inclinations that lurk just below the surface.
Lisa Szabo-Jones: A Gaze I Return
The cited excerpts come from an untitled poem in Alberto Caeiro’s uncollected poems 1914-1922. The image is from my ongoing urban wilds series, which ranges across Canadian, European, and American cities. The image merges digital and 19th century photographic processes, and watercolour pigments.
Margarida Garcia: The Carnation Revolution and COVID-19
I am writing this brief report from Portugal, on the 25th of April 2020, the day on which we celebrated the 46th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. The thoughts I want to share with the Trudeau Foundation community, and with the wider community, intertwine two "revolutionary" moments in my life.
Marie-France Fortin: A time to say Thank You
I am delighted to be able to contribute to this first edition of the Foundation’s alumni newsletter. In a time when we are all in solidarity, even while each in our own homes, in the fight against an invisible enemy that is nonetheless inflicting real damage, I feel this is the right moment to say "thank you". In the midst of the pandemic, I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis at Cambridge University, via videoconference. The completion of my PhD project, which was born as I was preparing my application for a Foundation Scholarship, prompted me to go back in time and have a thought for those who support the university community.
Robert Leckey: Postcard from the Dean’s Office at the McGill Faculty of Law
Professionally, I have spent the past weeks working with colleagues of McGill’s central administration and of my faculty to adjust to the end of in-classroom teaching and get us through the winter 2020 term. I’ve been heartened by the spirit of collaboration shown by professors, administrative staff, and students. The students quickly mobilized, using technology to collect data for us about which courses would be most affected by the two-week shutdown.
