A new program aims to bring some of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s most promising Indigenous doctoral candidates to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s for a year to further their learning, and allow Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to learn from them.

A prestigious Pre-Doctoral Fellowship program, one of the first of its kind in Canada, has been created as a way of recognizing up and coming Indigenous scholars and enhancing their academic profile. The Faculty of Arts and Science is offering four spaces in this Fellowship program, which provides the recipients with a $34,000 annual stipend, teaching wages, and funds for research and conferences.

카지노 게임 컬렉션We are proud of our continuing dedication to life-long learning and reconciliation efforts, and of the many academic and personal successes of our Indigenous students, faculty, staff and alumni,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Lynda Jessup, Associate Dean (Graduate Studies and Research) with the Faculty of Arts and Science. 카지노 게임 컬렉션After working with Erin Sutherland (PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션16), an Indigenous student who had received a pre-doctoral fellowship at another university, I was inspired to develop this program as a way of supporting culturally relevant learning opportunities both for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and for Indigenous students.카지노 게임 컬렉션

To be eligible, students must have Indigenous heritage, must be enrolled in a doctorate program at another Canadian university, and must relocate to Kingston for the year. During the year, the PhD candidate would teach a course within the Faculty of Arts and Science, which would help Indigenize some of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s curriculum, and they would engage with local Indigenous peoples and communities.

The candidates would also have the chance to broaden their scholarly network by working with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s faculty members and researchers, thereby improving their career opportunities. Most importantly, the Fellowship would support the successful completion of their doctoral studies.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The pre-doctoral fellowship I received gave me time, space, and support to finish my dissertation, and it gave me a new community to share my ideas with, to learn from, to be with,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Sutherland. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The community helped me to develop ideas which ended up being central to my dissertation. Specifically, my time spent with community 카지노 게임 컬렉션 both at the 카지노게임사이트 and outside of it 카지노 게임 컬렉션 supported my learning and discussion of Indigenous methodologies. Most importantly, it better prepared me to deal with change and how to work in and adapt to a new academic and community environment.카지노 게임 컬렉션
