The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is pleased to announce that Ezra Greene and Anastasia Rogova from the Anthropology Department are the new Killam Doctoral Scholarship recipients for 2016-2017 competition.
The Killam Doctoral Scholarships are provided annually from the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies. These are the most prestigious graduate awards available at UBC, and are awarded to the top doctoral candidates in the annual Tri-Agency / Affiliated Fellowships competition.
Rogova and Greene, both Anthropology PhD students, were rewarded with travel allowance for the September 2016 to August 2018 period.
Anastasia Rogova started her PhD program in Anthropology at UBC in 2014 after receiving a master’s degree in Anthropology from the European University at St.Petersburg (Russia) in 2007. Her current research project explores the intersections of social class and citizenship, and how they are expressed in the practices of parenting in contemporary Russian society as well as among Russian-speaking immigrants in Canada.
Ezra Anton Greene is a doctoral student in Anthropology researching the intergenerational transmission of Inuit knowledge. He is interested in how land-, sea-, and ice-based knowledge is learned, taught, and practiced contemporarily in the Eastern Canadian Arctic, while giving attention to how new technologies and resource extraction economies are integrated into Inuit life and culture. His research methodologies combine anthropological methods, collaborative geomatics, and participatory GIS. In addition, he has worked with Arctic-based graduate students at UBC Polar Club to help create the ARCTIC-WISE Lecture Series at Green College and Connections: The Place and Practice of Northern Research workshop at the Liu Centre.
