Aaron Dhir<\/strong><\/p>\nDhir, who was recognized by Lexpert<\/i> Magazine<\/em> in 2011 as one of Canada's leading lawyers under 40, will be hosted by Yale Law School and will be the first Canadian Bicentennial Visiting Scholar in the history of that faculty.\u00a0 His teaching at Yale will include courses on corporations and human rights, as well as corporate governance. He will also continue his work on a book project, under contract with Cambridge University Press, which explores the topic of diversity and corporate governance.<\/p>\n Another York University scholar \u2013 Karolyn Smardz Frost, senior research fellow for African Canadian history at York\u2019s Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on the Global Migrations of African Peoples \u2013 is currently at Yale this academic year as the Canadian Bicentennial Visiting Scholar. She is cross-appointed to Yale\u2019s history department.<\/p>\n The appointment, offered annually through Yale\u2019s Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, supports Canadian scholars who study Canada in a comparative or international context.<\/p>\n Started in 1976 as a gift of the Canadian government to Yale, this endowed, visiting professorship brings a distinguished visitor from a Canadian university to Yale for a semester or an academic year to sustain curricular offerings and intellectual attention on Canada at Yale.<\/p>\n Yale has maintained close ties with Canada for nearly three centuries. It first accepted Canadian students in the early 18th century and now graduates the second highest number of Canadians among American universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dhir, who was recognized by Lexpert Magazine<\/i> in 2011 as one of Canada's leading lawyers under 40, will be hosted by Yale Law School and will be the first Canadian Bicentennial Visiting Scholar in the history of that faculty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":184837,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[38,21],"yfileauthor":[],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[164,154],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-184740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-picks","tag-osgoode","tag-research","tags-to-show-osgoode","tags-to-show-research"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"\n
