Another successful SSHRC year in Sociology !

This past year, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) once again recognized the high quality scholarship taking place in our department. Three undergraduate and first-year MA students (Amy Macdonald, Kelly Struthers Montford and Camille Tokar) won SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarships (Master's level), while three PhD students won SSHRC doctoral fellowships: Ariane Hanemaayer received a SSHRC Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship while Patrick McLane and Bryan Sluggett received SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships. In addition, PhD student Barbara Milmine received the prestigious SSHRC Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (one of only two such SSHRC awards received by U of A students this past year). Faculty members were also successful in the SSHRC Standard Grant competition: Dominique Clément, Amy Kaler and Harvey Krahn each received a three-year SSHRC Standard Research Grant.
