Voices: Activists-in-Exile. Agents of Change, was created by Associate Professor Nadia Abu-Zahra and Neuberger-Jesin Professor John Packer, HRREC Director. It supports activists in exile who are trying to make the home they left a better place. Those voices are important for the perspectives they offer and for the ideas they generate. Voices provides platforms for those who would otherwise not be heard, in situations of violent conflict.

Workshop | Voices: Activists-in-Exile
John Packer and co-investigators Nadia Abu-Zahra, Ghuna Bdiwi and Kawkab Al Wadei, and collaborator Philip Leech-Ngo received a SSHRC Connection Grant in support of the organization of a workshop to bring together activists-in-exile from across Canada, as well as scholars, policymakers and civil society organizations. This initiative is the first step in forging a community of mutual support and idea-sharing among activists-in-exile and other interested groups, sharing experiences and understandings of current policies and practices in a rapidly evolving space.
