Your impact
Graduate research at the intersection of art and climate crisis
With support from the Richard and Margaret Beck Student Research Travel Award, Master's student Braedon Lowey (English) travelled to Iceland to conduct research for his final project, a documentary film featuring authors, scholars, journalists, and artists who all work at the intersection of climate change and humanities to address why their work is important in the ongoing efforts to preserve our natural world for future generations.
Making global learning possible
Funding through the Faculty of Humanities Travel and Learning Award supports students travelling to participate in programs like the I-Witness Field School, which examines Holocaust memorialization. Through the field school, students build an understanding of antisemitism, racism, religious intolerance, homophobia and ableism by visiting historical sites, museums and monuments across Central Europe.
