Please join Awards Officer Thomas Barber and 2019 Trudeau Fellow Aimée Morrison, as they take you through the Myths and Realities of applying for Academic Awards and Prizes. Aimée will share the myths she battled in the process of applying for the revamped Trudeau Foundation Fellowship and Tom will take you behind the green curtain to expose the great and powerful A.H.D. (awards, honours, and distinctions).
Fewer than 25% of the people nominated for awards from UW are women. Very few women put themselves forward for open call nominations and we are hoping to change this. At the end of this presentation, attendees will leave with a better understanding of the various steps, stages, and tasks of the awards nomination process, as well as some insider knowledge about less obvious pathways by which scholars and administrators shepherd nominations through this process.
Vegetarian lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Donation Recommendation: Please bring $5-$10 worth of donations for the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge chapter of the Period Purse to benefit marginalized menstruators. Backpacks/totes, period products, winter gloves/mittens and hats, sweet treats like granola bars and chocolates are most appreciated.
If you can’t make it out to our event but wish to donate, feel free to reach out to me or to any W3 committee member.

SDS 388R: Globalization and Social Development
Tuesdays/Thursdays, 10-11:20am in REN 1918
It is quite challenging to imagine our daily existence without reaching for our smartphones and shopping and socializing on the interent, ordering dishes from a restaruant serving delicacies originating from far away from where we are located, and even instantly learning about social, economic, political and event legal developments taking place in hallways across the globe. In other words, it is quite difficult not to be instantly ocnnected to people, events, and devleopments which transcend geographical boundaries. Naturally, this was not always the case; or at least in the past, our social, economic, cultural and polical connectivity has not always been as extensive and all encompasing as it is today. Our task in this course, then, will be to understand and intellectually grapple with the origins, the phenomena and the effects of globalization on socieities in the global north and the global south.
