Congratulations to Dr. Sara Shneiderman, on her recent Killam Research Fellowship.
The Killam Research Fellowships provide support to scholars of exceptional ability by granting them time to pursue research projects of broad significance and widespread interest within the disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, engineering or studies linking any of these disciplines. These Fellowships are now specifically targeted to mid-career researchers in need of relief from teaching and administrative duties to focus on their research career.
I am delighted to have the support of the Killam Faculty Research Fellowship to continue my exploration of disaster resilience and social transformation from community-based perspectives in both Nepal and BC, and to expand frameworks for knowledge exchange around these themes between the Global South and Global North through my ethnographic writing and policy-engaged work. – Dr. Sara Shneiderman
