Biography: 

Tari Ajadi is a PhD candidate at Dalhousie University, and recently completed a Predoctoral Fellowship in Black Studies at Queen鈥檚 University. His research compares how Black activists in mid-sized municipalities strategize to prompt change in policing and in health policy. His focus is specifically on the ways that these activists use and sometimes reject coalition-building across difference to exploit the political and discursive opportunities that arise in municipal and provincial governing institutions.

As a British-Nigerian immigrant to Canada, Professor Ajadi's goal is to produce research that supports and engages with Black communities across the country, and stands in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across what we now call Canada. He has published articles in The Globe and Mail, The Chronicle-Herald, University Affairs, Canadian Government Executive, Canadian Diversity, and The Tyee. He is a co-author of the Defunding the Police: Defining the Way Forward for HRM report released January 2022.

He is co-founder of the Nova Scotia Policing Policy Working Group, a member of the Board of Directors of the Health Association of African Canadians, as well as a Board Member with the East Coast Prison Justice Society.
