Jennifer Welsh

The amazing Jennifer Welsh is making her second appearance here on the pod! Jennifer hails from Regina as I do, but that’s where the similarities end. She’s a Rhodes Scholar, earning her Master and Doctorate in International Relations at Oxford. She co-founded the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict. She was a Special Adviser to Ban Ki-moon – the UN Secretary General – on the Responsibility to Protect. And she’s currently the Canada 150 Research Chair in Global Governance and Security at McGill University.

Given that kind of expertise, this is conversation I’d like to have today:

  • The world has been in great flux in the last decade. 

  • A China that suddenly seems threatening. 

  • Russia’s invasion and its backing from China and tacitly India. 

  • Democracy is under attack.  America is unsteady, at best. 

  • What does it all mean for Canada and how should we be comporting ourselves internationally?
