It has had multiple programmes over time. Esteban Szmuleiwicz participated as a Fellow on the programme titled Health and Economic Well-being: Gender Equity in Post-Pandemic Rebuilding, an initiative also backed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Esteban Szmulewicz, PhD candidate at the Department of Constitional and Administrative Law, was invited to discuss political inclusion, deliberation and participation in democracy. The emphasis was on the constitution-making process in Chile, its virtues and the challenges it presents, highlighting gender equality and the participation of women and marginalised groups in politics. In this context the experience of Tammy Pustilnick, a lawyer and former member of the Chilean Constitutional Convention, who is also a Fellow of the programme, was also shared.
