Colleagues,
Earlier I informed you of the SSHRC Insight grant successes of Cynthia Nicol and Peter Gouzouasis. Now I have further information and wish to congratulate their co-investigators.
Cynthia Nicol’s grant success was a project entitled: Living, learning and teaching in a refugee camp. Working with Cynthia on this are the following Co-Investigators: Samson Nashon, Karen Meyer, Rita Irwin, and George Belliveau from LLED.
This project, framed around the Dedaab refugee camp, was awarded $459,403 over a period of 4 years. It represents scholarly acclaim for the world community action EDCP is undertaking in Africa and is a very important acknowledgement of the department’s commitment to social justice through its intellectual endeavours. Please join me in congratulating Cynthia again but this time with Samson Nashon, Karen Meyer, and Rita Irwin.
Peter Gouzouasis’ grant success was a project entitled: What matters most: the effects of music making on adolescents in the 21st century. Working with Peter are the following: Scott Goble, Martin Guhn, and Rita Irwin (UBC), and Susan O’Neill (SFU) as Co-Investigators; and as Collaborators, Karen Lee (UBC) and Slava Senyshyn (SFU).
The project was ranked 4th out of 107, a magnificent achievement, and is funded for $223,000 over three years. Please join me in congratulating Peter again but this time with Scott Goble and Karen Lee.
Other EDCP co-investigators include Kit Grauer working with Ruth Beer (PI) and Glen Lowry (Emily Carr University) was awarded $310,803 for a 4-year Insight grant. The project, “Trading Routes: Grease Trails, Oil Pipelines”, is a Research/Creation project focused on the intersecting geographies of aboriginal trade routes, the Coast Salish “grease trails,” and the proposed Alberta-British Columbia oil pipeline.
Hearty congratulations to all EDCP members associated with the successful SSHRC Insight grants.
Best, Peter
