Morrell Andrews

Masters in Public Policy, 2026

I am oriented toward justice and compassion. As a multi-award-winning public servant with more than a decade in policy and government I have inquired: what can I do, where I am, with what I have to give? Through work with Canada’s federal ministries dedicated to foreign affairs and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples I have several answers.

I am proud to have negotiated a historic Aboriginal title agreement with the Haida Nation, fixed the Criminal Code so victims of sexual offences can speak about their abuse without being criminalized, bound all UN peacekeeping countries to new gender-responsive standards for uniformed personnel, and consulted over 1000 youth on Canada’s first Youth Policy. I regard public service as a long-term commitment to solve hard problems and imagine better futures.

At Oxford I am focused on understanding the evolving technological and economic landscape to make that possible. Service takes many forms; I intend to serve the public good as long as feasible.
