Deveaux completed her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in political theory from McGill University before enrolling at Cambridge University for her M.Phil. and PhD. [1] Following her PhD, Deveaux became a postdoctoral research fellow at the Wiener Center for Social Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. [2]

Career

Williams College

Upon completing her fellowship, Deveaux joined the faculty at Williams College as an assistant professor in political science in 1998. [1] In this new role, she continued to write on issues of moral theory and eventually published her first book Cultural Pluralism and Dilemmas of Justice in 2000. In this book, Deveaux searches for a way to provide "justice amid diversity" by arguing for deliberative liberalism. [3] Following this publication, Deveaux accepted a Radcliffe College fellowship from 2001 to 2002 where she developed and wrote her second book; Traditional Cultures and Liberal Constitutions. [2] Upon returning to Williams College following her fellowship, she was named a 2002–03 Oakley Fellow for the fall semester. [4] Deveaux was granted tenure at Williams in 2004. [5] During her first three years as a tenured professor, Deveaux co-edited and published two books; Gender and Justice in Multicultural Liberal States and Sexual Justice/Cultural Justice. In these books, she explores the tensions between multicultural, liberal democracies and cultural and religious customs. [6] Her first book, Gender and Justice in Multicultural Liberal States, received the 2008 C.B. Macpherson Prize. [7] In 2010, Deveaux was promoted to the rank of full professor of political science. [8]

University of Guelph

Deveaux left Williams College in 2010 to become a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Ethics and Global Social Change. [9] In this role, she used a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant to organize a conference on global ethics and fairness. [10] In 2017, Deveaux was renewed as a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair. [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Multiculturalism in Canada</span> Canadian social situation

Multiculturalism in Canada was officially adopted by the government during the 1970s and 1980s. The Canadian federal government has been described as the instigator of multiculturalism as an ideology because of its public emphasis on the social importance of immigration. The 1960s Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism is often referred to as the origin of modern political awareness of multiculturalism, resulting in Canada being one of the most multicultural nations in the world. The official state policy of multiculturalism is often cited as one of Canada's significant accomplishments, and a key distinguishing element of Canadian identity and Canadian values.
