Professor Philip Oxhorn, First Visiting Fellow at Sauvé House

By François-Xavier Tremblay

Professor Philip Oxhorn

Professor Philip Oxhorn recently completed his term as the first Visiting Fellow at Jeanne Sauvé House.  "The Sauvé Program’s emphasis on scholarship and making a real difference in the world proved to be a very good environment for advancing in my own research, which focuses on making democracy work better for disadvantaged groups.  My short stay was very productive and I enjoyed it a lot", said Professor Oxhorn. 

Professor Oxhorn is the Founding Director of McGill University’s Institute for the Study of International Development and Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Latin American Research Review.  A former Associate Dean (Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies) at McGill, his research focuses on the comparative study of civil society and its role in supporting democratic regimes, particularly in Latin America.
