Abigail Curlew: Transgender hate crimes
Our 2019 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar Abigail Curlew published an article in The Conversation looking at the rising tide of violence against transgender people.
Abigail speaks about her personal experience with hostility and fear and raises concerns about the ways in which violence is reported.
We need to have a collective conversation about the consequences of the widespread oppression and persecution many of us face when general anti-trans hostility is allowed to fester unacknowledged.

Summary
In this episode of “From Research to Impact”, Josiane Blanc talks to Alexandre Petitclerc, 2022 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar, doctoral candidate and lecturer in philosophy at the Université de Montréal.

Sections
Ever since the days of ancient Greece, human beings have been asking big questions about their times. Although the world has changed radically, these questions have not changed. Today's philosophical debates continue to fuel discussions, both inside and outside the classroom. How can we guarantee access to education for all? What role should the state play in ensuring that everyone has a roof over their heads?
In this episode of “From Research to Impact”, Josiane Blanc talks to Alexandre Petitclerc, 2022 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar, doctoral candidate and lecturer in philosophy at the Université de Montréal. Together, they explore how philosophy can offer essential new perspectives on contemporary issues in an increasingly polarized world.
Over the course of their exchanges, we discover the role that philosophical thought can play in the search for solutions to a worsening housing crisis, as well as in the quest for social justice for all. Alexandre also points out how art opens up a way of looking at philosophy through a more human prism, deeply imbued with empathy.

2017 Scholar Sophie de Saussure has written a publication titled: The effects of punishment on the offenders’ relatives: Difficulties and discussion regarding their problematization at the sentencing stage.
