On Monday, November 9th the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Toronto will be holding the popular Massey College Dinner.
Our Feature Speaker this year will be Director of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, Stephen Toope.
Prior to joining UofT, Professor Toope was the President of the University of British Columbia. He represented Western Europe and North America on the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances from 2002-2007. He continues to conduct research on many aspects of international law and is currently working on issues of continuity and change in international law, and the origins of international obligation in international society. His most recent book, with Jutta Brunnée, is Legitimacy and Legality in International Law: An Interactional Account, which won the American Society of International Law’s 2011 Certificate of Merit for Creative Scholarship.
Before joining UBC, Professor Toope was the President of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, a position he held since 2002. The Foundation is an independent, private, and non-partisan organization created to promote outstanding research and interaction between researchers in the social sciences and humanities and the wider society. From 1994-1999, he served as the dean of McGill University’s Faculty of Law. Previously, he served as Law Clerk to the Rt. Hon. Chief Justice Dickson of the Supreme Court of Canada from 1986-1987.
Professor Toope earned his PhD from Trinity College, Cambridge (1987), his degrees in common law (LLB) and civil law (BCL) with honours from McGill University (1983), and graduated magna cum laude with his AB in History and Literature from Harvard University (1979).
Stay tuned for more details before the end of Summer.
The Canadian Friends of the London School of Economics (CFLSE) will be hosting Kevin McGurgan, the British Consul General (Toronto) at a cocktail reception on 15 June. They have generously extended this invitation to members of the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Toronto. This may be particularly interesting for those of you who weren’t able to attend our own event at his residence earlier this year.
There will be a networking cocktail reception followed by remarks from the Consul General.

The weather may feel like March but we are approaching the end of May and that means time to meet up at the Irish Embassy for the Oxbridge pub night. I hope to see as many of you as possible in the Dublin Bar (turn left after you enter the bar). We will be discussing solutions to the world’s problems and whether Mike Babcock really can turnover an old Leaf. Complete details can be found on the Events page.
