Jennifer Levin Bonder

Jennifer Levin Bonder was a 2018-19 Fulbright Visiting Scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Canadian Studies in Washington, DC and a fellow with the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. Her research explores Canada’s policy experiments around foreign investment and trade diversification. Her forthcoming dissertation examines the Foreign Investment Review Agency (FIRA), a policy experiment during Pierre Trudeau’s time in office created to screen the foreign acquisition of Canadian firms and establishment of new business enterprises in Canada. It is emblematic of the economic nationalist and protectionist debates that have coursed throughout the history of both countries.
