[edit] Educational institution?

Can anyone provide conclusive evidence for which university Mazigh attended? I found a Globe and Mail article written by her where she lists HEC as the only institution that accepted her ([1]), but all the press coverage about her and her own website ([2]) list her doctorate as being from McGill.

A natural interpretation that's consistent with the facts is that she was accepted at HEC, then later transferred to McGill. Does anyone know if this is the case?

As far as I know HEC and McGill are not affiliated in any way such that Mazigh could claim that her doctorate was from both institutions. To my knowledge HEC is a mostly French-language school and affiliated with the University of Montreal, while McGill is not.

For now I've changed the text to state her doctorate is from McGill. Should anyone have evidence suggesting otherwise, feel free to post it here. --Saforrest 15:46, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

HEC, UQAM, McGill and Concordia offer a joint Ph.D. in Administration. There's a chance she studied financial economics in that program? 74.12.9.191 06:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Thompson Rivers University has a staff directory. It will be updated in a few months.

[edit] She's writing a book

Is there a title yet?

[edit] Edit

Changed "opposed" to "does not support" to more accurately reflect Monia's stated opinion at the time. According to her words, Monia saw same sex marriage as a moral and religious issue and as a human rights issue and, as such, felt (or said that she felt) that she did not feel comfortable either supporting or opposing it. Unless there is information to the contrary, we have to take Monia at her word and, as far as I know, Monia has never campaigned against same-sex marriage.

If this issue reveals a true conflict between her strong religious beliefs and her strong belief in human rights it is an important point to make.

Stephen Lewis also admits to being conflicted between being Jewish and his belief in human rights for all when it comes to the Palestinians, and his son Avi seems less conflicted about this siding more automatically and vehemently on the side of human rights. Thus, we can't rule out at this point Baara being a public figure and her future might be impacted on how she deals with the moral dilemma her mother avoids by abstaining on this issue (or something related to this issue). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.37.48 (talk) 20:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
