Funded MRP/Thesis Opportunities for Incoming and Future MA Students



Each year I have funding available to support incoming MA students who are willing and interested in writing a MRP or thesis on a topic that aligns with my current research agenda.  In 2011-2012, MA student Megan Gayda wrote an MRP on the intergovernmental relationship between Serpent River First Nation and the city of Elliott Lake. To help her complete her MRP, I provided funds to support her field work in northern Ontario.  Below is a list of current opportunities for incoming and future MA Students in the Canadian Political Studies Stream:

1) I am currently looking for an incoming MA student that is interested in writing a MRP or Thesis on Aboriginal self-government in the Northwest Territories.  In particular, I am willing to provide up to approximately $5000 in RA and field work support to a MA student who wants to write a MRP or thesis on the Inuvialuit Settlement Region and the governance structures that are emerging there.  Interested students should contact me asap with a letter expressing their interest and qualifications.

 2) I am also interested in supporting and supervising incoming MA students that want to write a MRP or Thesis on any aspect of the intergovernmental relationship emerging between Aboriginal and local/regional governments in Canada and in other settler countries.  Interested students should contact me asap with a letter expressing their interest and qualifications.
