I am so thankful to receive the David Edney Research Travel Award which will allow me to study collage in Paris this summer!
Paris is calling!
Thank you David Edney for making my dream come true.
Thank you to Alicia Boutilier and Dr. Julian Jason Haladyn for their support with my application and ongoing mentorship. I wouldn’t be here without you!
“We don’t know what life will bring. We should welcome the unexpected and see what we can make of it”
-David Edney
With this award, the donor aims to open horizons for graduate students by giving them opportunities they would not otherwise have, by allowing them to live for a time in a different culture while having direct access to French scholarly resources. It will, for example, allow specialists in French history or literature to do research in their area.
But the donor wishes that the award also be used to encourage bold, adventurous thinkers who do not follow a conventional path but do the unexpected, such as a chemist who wishes to work in a French laboratory or with a particular French scientist, or a sociologist who wishes to compare Parisian ghettoes with marginalized residents of Canadian cities.
