Bonjour from Canada! What is the best way for students in the MC-MPA to work with the Ash Centre and make best use of its resources given that we are there just for one year?

There's overwhelming support for democracy in Africa, however, there has been challenged and deficiencies in the implementation of democracy in some countries in Africa. Could you share some recipes for democracy to work for the common African and what are some of the things the Ash Center is doing to strengthen democracy in developing economies?

Mason Fellows housed in MC-MPA program

Mary you mentioned that you do offer the fellowships to students you think will work in areas that will promote democracy? What are some of those areas from your standpoint?

I think my connection is not good but following the chat

In my Opinion, Donald Trump has liberate future politicians for the use of there 1 Amendment right.

Greetings, everyone I am Alisha Thurmond from Detroit Michigan.

MPP candidate for 2018.

@Juan- Thanks. I'm almost Carioca lol

@Rashi- Great question!

+1 @Rashi

@gonzalo et @christian merci! Guessing you're MC-MPA applications as well?

@Rashi I'll submit my MC-MPA application this year to attend in 2019

Do you work with race and government in other countries? I'm thinking the large "ethnic vote" that plays a signficant part in Canadian politics, as well as "caste politics" in India?

There's overwhelming support for democracy in Africa, however, there has been challenges and deficiencies in the implementation of democracy in some countries in Africa. Could you share some recipes for democracy to work for the common African and what are some of the things the Ash Center is doing to strengthen democracy in developing economies?

Thanks! Where do we find out about the public events?

Is there any on-going Indonesia program within the Rajawali Foundation? Who are eligible to apply for a research grant?

@Rashi another great question. My question is somewhat similar. Is there synergy between any of the work on Democracy programs (ie Race and American Politics and Democracy in Hard Places)?

Could you tell us more about the demographics and profile of the students you interact with at the Ash Center? Are most students international? How many years of professional experience do they have on average?

if accepted, I have an specific interest to work with one professor (Jorrit de Jong) is it likely (or even recommended) to write them and have them take you as research fellows?

I am interested to study community participation in public policy making. Just wondered because Ash center has specific division! I have one question. What are the eligible criteria to get accepted for Ford Foundation Scholarship from the Ash center?

Sorry Teresa. You mentioned that you do offer the fellowships to students you think will work in areas that will promote democracy? What are some of those areas from your standpoint?

What are the requirements for students are who under the Ash center fellowship? Do they have writing publications requirements, teaching requirements, etc.?

Wow!

how well do Ash Center comitted in the long term (contributing to the field through publication, practice of management and sponsorship in democracy and governance

Superb topic: climate change and women. Creative and innovative.

Hi Teresa, could you please help type the Twitter handle well as contact emails for those who have specific questions?

do you work with private sector at all?

i.e. public policy in corporations?

Thanks for the answer Teresa! Appreciated.

What is the process to apply for PAE/SYPA travel grants?

Thank you very much for your time and responses!

If you are inspired to work with Ash Center is there opportunities to shadow?

Can you share more information on the symposium?

how does the ash center measure the policy impact of its work in the world?
