Identity politics and the capture of canadian research funding: Peter Copeland and Dave Snow

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we discuss the ideas and policies shaping Canada today!

In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Program at the Macdonald Laurier Institute, sits down with Dave Snow, MLI senior fellow and associate professor at the University of Guelph, to discuss the growing influence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at Canada's major federal research granting agencies.

The discussion delves into how DEI policies impact intellectual diversity, as the language of DEI becomes increasingly pervasive in research funding guidelines.

Professor Snow provides a detailed analysis of the different forms of DEI - mild, moderate, and activist - and offers recommendations on how federal granting agencies can renew their commitment to political and ideological neutrality.
