Our difficult, but necessary, conversation continues.

In today’s episode of The Pan-African Experience I spoke to Dr Gideon Christian about the recently exposed racial discrimination within IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).

These damning findings came from a 20-page report, compiled by the public opinion research company Pollara Strategic Insights, and presented to IRCC in June 2021.

Dr Gideon is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary, and one of the witnesses in Canadian House of Commons’ hearing on this report.

Before joining the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary, Dr Christian worked part-time as an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa. He also worked fulltime as a Legal Counsel with the National Litigation Sector at the federal Department of Justice where he conducted electronic discovery in high-profile litigation involving the Government of Canada.

His research activities centres on law and technology - specifically on electronic discovery, artificial intelligence and law, and environmental impacts of technology. Gideon’s research work has been published in Canadian Journal of Law and Technology, Utrecht Journal of International and European Law, African Journal of Library, Archives and Information Science, and Canadian Bar Review

I am grateful and honoured to have Dr Christian on the podcast.
