Mulroney Institute Dahdaleh Practitioner-in-Residence
The Brian Mulroney Institute’s Victor Dahdaleh Practitioner-in-Residence (PIR) Program offers a unique experience for political, government, and NGO practitioners to reflect on their work and share lessons learned with StFX students, faculty, and the local community. The program provides time to capture learnings that could benefit others and the space to encourage real experimentation, especially on critical issues of policy creation and implementation. The Dahdaleh PIR Program welcomes a diversity of practitioners working on topics of governance, government, policy, politics, and the state. PIRs will be people who are willing to engage with the StFX community, share skills, experience and practice, mentor students, and to collaborate on events and public activities.
This PIR Program aims to
- Increase and diversify the Mulroney Institute’s engagement with external stakeholders;
- Facilitate conversations between academics, practitioners, students, and the general public on the big issues society faces locally, nationally, and at a global scale;
- Support the skills development of StFX students wishing to pursue careers in government, policy, politics, and civil society; and
- Build partnerships to support the development of collaborative research projects.
