Showcasing innovative research from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 has earned three students an opportunity to showcase their storytelling talents for a national audience.
Political Studies students Justin Mathews and Nikolas Lopez as well as Cultural Studies PhD candidate Jessica Jacobson-Konefall ranked among the top 25 participants in the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션Research for a Better Life: The Storytellers카지노 게임 컬렉션 student challenge.
Mr. Mathews (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션14) and Mr. Lopez (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션14) were the first undergraduate students ever to have placed in the top 25. They chose to showcase the research of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s professor Heather Bastedo, Royce Koop (카지노게임사이트 of Manitoba) and Kelly Blidook (Memorial 카지노게임사이트). The SSHRC-funded research studies the lives of members of Parliament and how they work with and represent their constituents. The unique video features a wide range of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students talking about the research in small, scripted clips.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We saw an opportunity to focus on that research team because there has been little research done in the area of Canadian municipal politicians,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Mathews. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We wrote a speech about the research and created a video with students speaking about the research and why the research matters.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The duo카지노 게임 컬렉션s story was selected because it fit the criteria of explaining where the research is taking Canada, what the research story is, and how it impacts Canadians.
Ms. Jacobson-Konefall카지노 게임 컬렉션s video showcases her research at in Winnipeg. Her work, funded by a SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship, studies Indigenous new media art and the ways in which these artworks shape and defy perceptions of Canadian cities.
카지노 게임 컬렉션In this video, I wanted to explain how art historical research can contribute to urgent discourses of Indigenous social justice, and advance strategies of productive Indigenous-settler collaboration,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
The three students have qualified for the next competition at SSHRC카지노 게임 컬렉션s 2014 Congress in May at Brock 카지노게임사이트, with the top teams there advancing to the national competition.
