Project Description:
In September 2020, a survey was sent out by 91ÑÇÉ«U to all faculty and staff regarding the impact of COVID-19 on their working arrangements. This data has since been analyzed and will be circulated to the 91ÑÇÉ« community late April. This project was run simultaneously at 7 other Canadian universities and approximately 7 Australia universities. Moving forward, the opportunities for collaborative research abound. The DARE student will have the opportunity to get involved with a follow-up qualitative component of the study, which will ultimately generate a variety of publications.The Dean’s Award for Research Excellence (DARE) - Undergraduate enables our students to meaningfully engage in research projects supervised by LA&PS faculty members.
