|'''Lawyer, Senior Research Fellow and Assistant Professor at Saint Mary's University, and inaugural visiting scholar under the Jocelyne Bourgon Visiting Scholar Initiative'''

|'''Executive Director of the Government of Canada's Federal Anti-Racism Secretariat'''

Rachel Zellars, MA, JD, PhD, is a lawyer, Senior Research Fellow, and Assistant Professor at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the Department of Social Justice and Community Studies. Her academic research and scholarship focuses on the history of Black Canada beginning with the American Revolution; slavery in the Maritimes and the lives of enslaved women; and gender violence and transformative justice. She is also a nationally recognized expert on critical implicit bias, a term that she coined in conjunction with her extensive, ongoing work with the federal government and numerous private institutions. In addition to her legal background, Zellars also holds a BA from Howard University, a master’s degree from Cornell University, and a doctorate in education from McGill University in Montreal.

Peter Flegel, a cornerstone of ''Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy''. With his diverse team, Peter is driving whole-of-government systems change in the federal government from an anti-racism perspective. This has entailed reaching and engaging close to 4 million people across Canada to inform policymaking, helping shape new federal policies and legislation, collaborating with foreign allies and working with federal departments and central agencies to implement an anti-racism framework for the entire federal public service. Peter has a distinguished career as a social entrepreneur, fundraiser, columnist, community organizer and musician, with extensive Canadian and international experience working in multilingual and multicultural settings. He has a history of leadership in the government, NGO and philanthropic sectors, in areas including anti-racism, equity, human rights, innovation, culture, international affairs and entrepreneurship.

 

Zellars has facilitated hundreds of critical implicit bias trainings for universities, government leaders and management, provincially and federally, since 2014. She is recognized for her ability to center local historical contexts, locate implicit bias within living histories of anti-blackness, and address barriers to personal and structural change with pointedness and vision.

 

 

A Canada Research Chair Tier II awardee, Zellars is currently serving as the inaugural Jocelyne Bourgon Visiting Scholar in the Canada School of Public Service.
