TORONTO – Internationally recognized as an authority on multiculturalism and race relations in Canada, Dr. Karen Mock has been appointed president of Canadian Friends of Haifa University. Outgoing President Peter Biro said, “As one of Canada’s foremost specialists in anti-racist education, a psychologist and former professor, and initiator of several public education campaigns, including the Black/Jewish Dialogue, Women’s Interfaith Dialogue and Muslim/Jewish Dialogue, Karen is the perfect leader to represent the University of Haifa – the most pluralistic institution of higher education in Israel. Building on our progress and accomplishments in the last few years, I have no doubt that the organization will grow even stronger with Karen at the helm.” A human rights consultant specializing in equity, diversity and hate crime, Dr. Mock served two terms as executive director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, following her 12-year tenure as national director of the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada.
