Welcome to the Engaging with Emerging Scholars Podcast!
This podcast is a series interviews with number of emerging scholars - mostly graduate students - who work on Canadian foreign policy matters and/or international issues which do and should impact Canada and inform Canadian foreign policy making.
They are structured in an 30 minute interview-conversational style where I will ask our guest a series of questions about their work, its intersection and impact on Canadian foreign policy, and their grad school experience in general. Each podcast will be posted here along with further information about our guest scholars and their research. Please note these interviews were originally conducted in May 2021.
Special thanks to the Canadian International Council (thecic.org), whose Fellowship funding was critical in making this project happen, and Collins Maina, our podcast producer, for all of his work and effort in seeing this project come to fruition.
I hope you enjoy them!

17 SEP. 2021 · On our fourth and final episode, we speak to Tari Ajadi, a PhD Candidate in the Political Science Department at Dalhousie University, about a recent article he co-authored about Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy (released in 2017) and how it feels 'striking similar' to the sentiment around the human security agenda of the 1990s. The article, written with Dr. Heather Smith, was published by the International Journal (the academic journal of the CIC) and can be accessed here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0020702020954547
Tari is a PhD candidate in Political Science at Dalhousie University. His dissertation research compares how Black activists in Halifax, Nova Scotia and London, Ontario strategize to prompt change in policing and in health policy. A British-Nigerian immigrant to Canada, Tari aims to produce research that supports and engages with Black communities across the country. A 2014 3M National Student Fellow, he has published articles in The Globe and Mail, The Chronicle-Herald, University Affairs, The Coast, Canadian Diversity and The Tyee. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Health Association of African Canadians, as well as the East Coast Prison Justice Society. He is a Junior Fellow at the MacEachen Institute for Public Policy and Governance. He holds a MA in Political Science from Dalhousie University.
17 SEP. 2021 · In our third episode, we talk to Carter Vance about his recent report on deliberating on different geopolitical orientations Canada could adopt towards the Indo-Pacific region given a host of uncertainties and stresses in global and regional balance and networks of political, economic and military power. The report, co-written by the the podcast host Adam, was published by the Conference of Defence Associations Institute and be accessed here - https://cdainstitute.ca/vimy-paper-46/
Carter is a graduate of Carleton University's Institute of Political Economy and has worked for a variety of governmental and non-governmental organizations in Canada, the United Kingdom and Indonesia. His writing has appeared with outlets such as the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Relations and Inquiries Journal.

17 SEP. 2021 · In our second episode, we talk to Benjamin Ofosu-Atuahene about his recently completed Masters thesis, as part of his recently completed MA in political science at Dalhousie University, which looked at the role of private security actors in Nigeria. His MA thesis was entitled “Private Security Actors in Africa and Why They Have Become a Necessary Evil?’ and can be accessed here via DalSpace: https://dalspace.library.dal.ca/handle/10222/80752
During his MA, Benjamin was the recipient of both the 2020 Keens-Morden Scholarship and the Shaw-Parpart Scholarship Award in Political Science. Benjamin, who is proudly African and from Ghana, has several research interests which revolve around African security and the relationship between the continent and the West. He currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia and looking forward to exploring future opportunities that comes his way.
17 SEP. 2021 · In our first episode, our guest Dr. Nafisa Abdulhamid, Network Coordinator for the Research Network on Women, Peace and Security (RN-WPS), discusses her recently completed PhD dissertation work on the extent to which civilian protection norms have been sustained, adapted, and localization in the African Union and within the African Union Mission in Somalia. Her dissertation can be accessed here via Dalspace: https://dalspace.library.dal.ca/handle/10222/80685
Nafisa hopes to conduct research in meaningful ways that will continue to tell the untold, and often forgotten, stories of individuals and communities so that her findings can positively impact policy changes on intervention practices that will actually protect civilians. She has published several books and articles on human security, gender and development, and civilian protection. Her most recent publications include “Commercialized Micro-Credit: How Micro-Borrowing Betrayed the Poor” (2019); “Disruptive Technology, Mobile Money and Financial Mobilization in Africa: MPesa as Kenya’s Solution to Global Financial Exclusion?” (2020); and “Offshoring in the pandemic age: Europe and the reconfiguration of externalized border controls” (2021). Nafisa also holds a Bachelor of Arts (honors) and a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Alberta. Despite being professionally rooted in Canada, Nafisa maintains strong connections with her community in Mombasa, Kenya.
