The three new Canada Research Chairs at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will focus on topics critical to Canadians and global citizens, including families affected by disability, the causes of cancer, and Indigenous education.
Dr. Aldersey카지노 게임 컬렉션s research identifies needs of families affected by disability, then develops and evaluates supports available to meet those needs, with a focus on populations in low- and middle-income countries.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I am so excited for the opportunities that this Canada Research Chair will provide,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Aldersey. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This chair will enable me to expand my research with people with disabilities, their families, and their communities to promote disability-inclusive community development globally.

Building on current on-reserve and urban research on language revitalization, Dr. Morcom will work in partnership with Indigenous communities to develop best practices for education and language planning.
"I카지노 게임 컬렉션m especially proud to be named the Canada Research Chair in Language Revitalization and Decolonizing Education in 2019 because the United Nations has declared this to be the International Year of Indigenous Languages,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Morcom. 카지노 게임 컬렉션All Indigenous languages in Canada are either vulnerable or endangered, but there is a tremendous amount being done within Indigenous communities and in partnership with external institutions to revitalize them.
