Our Associate Professor Stefan Linquist is principal investigator on a new SSHRC Insight Grant. Congratulations, Stefan!
SSHRC Insight Grant: $85,279.
It might come as a surprise that only a small fraction of the DNA in our cells (less than 2%) encodes the various proteins that build our hair cells, bone cells, neurons, and all other human cell types. This raises the question of what, if anything, the remaining 98% is doing?
Two recently-announced research grants include our own Associate Professor Maya Goldenberg. Congratulations, Maya!
SSHRC Insight Development Grant, $58,000 , 2016-2018
Primary Investigator: Dr. Janet Parsons, Applied Health Research Centre, St. Michael's Hospital

Recent Grads Talk about their Careers
Each semester the History Department invites some of our recent graduates back to campus to talk about their careers. Our Fall 2016 Gateway Seminar, 27 October, featured Monica Finlay (MA 2011) researcher and analyst for Edelman, the world's largest communication-marketing company; Graham Shular (BAH 2012) occasional teacher in the Thames Valley District School Board; and Robbie Berardi (BAH 2012) teacher/interpreter specialising in blacksmithing at the Waterloo Region Museum.
The Department is delighted to announce the appointment of our new Post-Doctoral Researcher, Dr. Allyson Stevenson.
