    Biographical history

    Chaviva Hošek was born in Chomutov, Czechoslovakia. Her mother was imprisoned in Auschwitz during WWII, and her family emigrated to Montreal in 1952. Hošek went on to earn her undergraduate degree from McGill and a PhD in English Literature from Harvard in 1973. After working as a University English Professor, Hošek served as the president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women from 1984 to 1986, during a time that the organization was polarized by internal divisions. In 1986, she won the YMCA Women of Distinction Award for Community and Public Service. Hošek ran in the 1987 Ontario election, winning a seat at the Legislative Assembly as an MPP for the Oakwood riding in Toronto. She lost her riding to Tony Rizzo of the NDP in 1990. Following this defeat, she became director of the Federal Liberal Party's research bureau, co-authored their campaign platform for the 1993 federal election, became the Director of Policy Research under Chrétien, and wrote the Liberal platforms for the 1997 and 2000 federal elections. In 2001, Hošek left the PMO to become president and CEO of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, and retired in 2012.

    Chaviva Hošek est née à Chomutov, en Tchécoslovaquie. Sa mère a été emprisonnée à Auschwitz pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et sa famille a émigré à Montréal en 1952. Hošek a obtenu un diplôme de premier cycle à McGill et un doctorat en littérature anglaise à Harvard en 1973. Après avoir été professeure d'anglais à l'université, Hošek a été présidente du Comité national d'action sur le statut de la femme de 1984 à 1986, à une époque où l'organisation était divisée en son sein. En 1986, elle a remporté le prix Femmes de distinction du YMCA pour le service communautaire et public. Hošek se présente aux élections ontariennes de 1987 et remporte un siège à l'Assemblée législative en tant que députée provinciale de la circonscription d'Oakwood à Toronto. En 1990, elle perd sa circonscription au profit de Tony Rizzo, du NPD. Après cette défaite, elle devient directrice du bureau de recherche du Parti libéral fédéral, coauteur de leur programme électoral pour les élections fédérales de 1993, devient directrice de la recherche politique sous Chrétien et rédige les programmes électoraux libéraux pour les élections fédérales de 1997 et 2000. En 2001, Hošek a quitté le cabinet du premier ministre pour devenir présidente-directrice générale de l'Institut canadien des recherches avancées. Il a pris sa retraite en 2012.
