On our fourth and final episode, we speak to Tari Ajadi, a PhD Candidate in the Political Science Department at Dalhousie University, about a recent article he co-authored about Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy (released in 2017) and how it feels 'striking similar' to the sentiment around the human security agenda of the 1990s. The article, written with Dr. Heather Smith, was published by the International Journal (the academic journal of the CIC) and can be accessed here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0020702020954547
