Course Description
Policy Intervention Studio is a culminating 2nd year CIPS course where students will have an opportunity to put their skills into practice by intervening in real-world policy processes. Depending on the year, interventions may occur at the municipal, provincial, federal or international levels at such venues as Toronto City Council, Infrastructure Ontario, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or Parliamentary Standing Committees. Students will conduct collaborative research on policy issues and actors, create and undertake consultative processes with their peers, develop and submit policy interventions and will be encouraged and supported to provide testimony in-person where possible.
