WorksafeBC Research Training Awards are designed to foster the development of occupational health and safety research among graduate students at the master’s and doctoral levels. These awards enable students to undertake full-time research training in B.C. — focusing on occupational illness, injury, and disability. Research projects must address WorkSafeBC's current research priorities to be eligible for consideration. Value: $20,000 stipend and a $2,500 research and travel allowance. Duration: Master's students receive one year of funding and doctoral students receive two years of funding. Recipients can apply to renew their grant for an additional year.
A total of four awards of CAD $5,000 are available to Canadian Master’s and/or Doctoral candidates to support the independent research and writing of an academic paper responding to a specific Non-Proliferation, Arms Control and Disarmament (NACD) topic. Awards also include domestic travel support to Ottawa where successful candidates will present their completed papers during a special event at Global Affairs Canada Headquarters in March 2020.

2019W2 (Term 2 Jan-Apr, 2020) on Mondays, 4-7 pm
This course is offered only about once every 3 years, and many students rate it as their best university experience, some say it changed their lives, and many say they still refer back to it years later:

It is a seminar, not a lecture course. You get more out of a course if you actively participate than if you passively observe & listen, so all students in the seminar are encouraged to actively participate in the class discussions. Students are also strongly encouraged to relate the course material to their own lives & experiences. This seminar is open to graduate students and outstanding undergrads. It is open to students in ALL departments – the more diverse the students, the better the course. There will be 2 changes from past years: (1) The reading load will be less, but still very demanding. (2) There will be an experiential component this time – students will go to the Downtown Eastside to learn from parents, community leaders, and youth.Work Opportunities
Suitable for Ph.D. students, either graduates or those in line to receive the Ph.D. by September 2020. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in one of our humanities disciplines (communications, English, history, philosophy, religious studies, and/or world languages and cultures), medical humanities, or interdisciplinary programs (Africana and Black Studies, Asian Studies, and Latino Latin American Studies), and demonstrate strong theoretical and broad methodological knowledge, including quantitative, qualitative, and/or rhetorical methods, and the ability to teach a variety of Liberal Studies courses.
