JSpaceCanada Spring Conference Ottawa

Much of the world is experiencing democratic backsliding, including Israel. As Canada prepares for a federal election, and as Israelis look toward the end of the war with Hamas in Gaza, we'll come together to discuss an increasingly polarized political climate and what role civil society can play in Canada, Israel, and Palestine to safeguard progressive values and promote peace and diplomacy.

This evening event includes a panel discussion with our speakers and Q&A, and will be moderated by Andrew Cohen.

Andrew Cohen (Moderator) is a best-selling writer, an award-winning journalist and a professor of journalism, whom The New York Times calls one of “Canada’s most distinguished authors.” In a career of 45 years, he has written on politics and culture from Ottawa, Toronto, London, Washington and Berlin. His seven books of history, biography and commentary range in subjects from Canada’s constitutional politics to national character to Arctic exploration. He writes a weekly column for Postmedia News, appears regularly on radio and television, and is a consulting producer on a television documentary on John F. Kennedy airing in November. www.andrewzcohen.com
