Tka Pinnock, Artsci'07
Marty Memorial Fellowship recipient, 2024-25
When Tka Pinnock was awarded the Marty Memorial Fellowship last year, she was gifted a book that contained portraits and life histories of the fellowship카지노 게임 컬렉션s recipients from its first 50 years.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I realized that I was now part of this wonderful community and legacy of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s women pursuing and achieving PhDs and going off into the world to do interesting and transformative things,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
She credits the fellowship funding as pivotal in allowing her to dedicate time and space for her own PhD dissertation in the Department of Politics at York 카지노게임사이트.
Titled 카지노 게임 컬렉션Displaced and Dispossessed: Afro카지노 게임 컬렉션Jamaicans and Everyday Life in Ocho Rios, Jamaica,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Pinnock카지노 게임 컬렉션s dissertation examines how Afro-Jamaican women in the craft industry respond to the challenges posed by tourism-led development.
Ocho Rios, a town transformed by tourism, has become a focal point for economic growth, but the consequences for everyday workers remain largely unexplored. Pinnock카지노 게임 컬렉션s research investigates how these workers experience globalization, economic development, and crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pinnock says the fellowship has not only provided financial relief but also a supportive community of women in academia.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Being part of a legacy and being reminded of how far women 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and women in academia 카지노 게임 컬렉션 have come is a nice anchor to hold on to in the isolation and intensity of completing my dissertation,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Basmah Rahman, Artsci'18, Ed'19
Alfred Bader Fellowship in Memory of Jean Royce recipient, 2024-25
For Basmah Rahman, the financial support offered by the fellowship was a big reason why she applied. But it was more than that, she says.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This fellowship helps to increase the accessibility of academic research while encouraging community outreach, two key components that align with my research values,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Rahman is a PhD candidate at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in the Department of English Literature and Creative Writing. She used the fellowship funding to back her dissertation, which addresses the struggles faced by marginalized youth in Canadian classrooms, particularly due to racial, gender, and socio-economic misrepresentation.
Drawing from personal experiences as an educator and student in Kingston, Rahman카지노 게임 컬렉션s research work emphasizes the importance of community engagement.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Community interactions and personal experiences are the roots of my project,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says, highlighting how these connections inform her work on marginalized identities and educational inequities.
With the fellowship카지노 게임 컬렉션s help, Rahman has been able to focus on topics such as refugee and Indigenous literature while incorporating new teaching methods, which she applied last fall in the first university course she ever taught.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My goal was to create an engaging learning environment that prioritized student agency and community, two key aspects of my research project,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Clarissa de Leon, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션13, MEd카지노 게임 컬렉션17
Jean Royce Fellowship recipient, 2023-24
Like Pinnock and Rahman, Clarissa de Leon also used the fellowship for her PhD dissertation, which is about better understanding the complexities that grad students who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPoC) face in their anti-racist teaching development.
de Leon is in the final stages of her PhD program in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Faculty of Education, and is set to defend her dissertation this summer.
She applied for the Jean Royce Fellowship, she says, because it encourages social advancement research 카지노 게임 컬렉션 exactly the type of research she is interested in.
카지노 게임 컬렉션In addition to helping identify institutional changes needed to better protect BIPoC graduate students as카지노 게임 컬렉션a카지노 게임 컬렉션marginalized카지노 게임 컬렉션group, findings from my카지노 게임 컬렉션study카지노 게임 컬렉션also provide potential insights on how카지노 게임 컬렉션to foster growth in BIPoC graduate students as they prepare to become leaders for anti-racism in higher education, different academic disciplines, and society at large,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션
Another major benefit of the fellowship was financial security, says de Leon. She has formally accommodated accessibility needs that impacted her ability to complete her research within the typical four years. Grad student funding packages aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t guaranteed outside of that four-year window.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Given the limited funding opportunities available, the Jean Royce Fellowship provided me with an opportunity to support my livelihood while furthering my research,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
