Visiting scholars

Visiting scholars share their knowledge and expertise with public servants on a variety of topics, and offer their perspectives on how to meet the present and future needs of people in Canada. The Canada School of Public Service hosts two dedicated visiting scholar initiatives: the Jocelyne Bourgon Visiting Scholar Initiative and the Ian D. Shugart Visiting Scholar Initiative.

Visiting scholars receive valuable experience working within the federal government, including access to new knowledge and expertise, data sources, networking opportunities, and practical insights into how the federal government operates. Visiting scholars also benefit from an elevated profile within the government and public administration communities, and from the opportunity to imprint their unique knowledge legacy across the federal public service.
