In the piece you wrote for

Policy

, you pointed to Stanford as a model for how universities can nurture innovation.

What lessons should we take from that example?

So you see McGill as being well-positioned to go further in this direction? One sector that people point to as flourishing in Montreal is artificial intelligence - in large part, because we have so many talented researchers in that area at McGill and

Université de Montréal.

You talk about the importance of taking risks in research. Are universities well-placed to perform that role? What role do young people play in a culture of innovation?

Is there anything else you would like to add?

CHRISTINNE MUSCHI

In a recent article for

Policy

magazine, Principal Suzanne Fortier, BSc'72, PhD'76, examined the ways in which universities help to build supportive environments for innovation. She recently shared her thoughts on the subject with the

McGill News

and talked about the role that she believes McGill is ready to play on this front.

A unique program in McGill's School of

Social Work is building powerful

bonds between community activists in one of the world's most volatile regions. It's also tackling the day-to-day hardships faced by tens of thousands of the people who live there. by Patrick McDonagh

“After many meetings, the university president said, ‘Look, I think the way you do, but we're not going to jump into a joint project with the Israelis after a long history of distrust, violence and hatred. Do something we need, and if it's in the same domain as something they're interested in, the projects will link natu rally,'" Torczyner recalls. That history of wariness and suspicion also stood in the way of establishing a program in the region in which Israelis and Jordanians could interact and learn from each other. “Decades of distrust made it impossible to host such an initiative in the Middle East," Torcyzner says. “But we could do it in Canada. Jordan had no social work profession to speak of, so we arranged that McGill's School of Social Work would help launch one by bringing Jordanian scholars to study in a specially designed master of social work program and we would offer the same program to Israeli scholars." In 1997, the rst ve ICAN program participants arrived, all sharing the same oce. Two were older Jordanian professors, and two were Israeli activists; the fth was Amal El-Sana, the current director, then a young woman from the Bedouin com munity of Lakiya in Israel. “I had met Amal at Ben-Gurion University and wanted her in the program," says Torczyner. “The Bedouin male patriarchy said ‘Don't take her, she's trouble,' but I said, ‘That's why I want toquotesdbs_dbs41.pdfusesText_41
