CASIE GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD
2021 CASIE Graduate Student Award
The Canadian Association for the Study of Indigenous Education (CASIE/ACEEA), as an associate member in the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE), has the responsibility for providing forums for scholarly discussion related to Indigenous education within CSSE, within Canadian Faculties of Education, and in society at large. The Association’s mission is to promote the study of Indigenous education among faculty members, students, and others in Canada and abroad. In order to carry out this mission, CASIE/ACEEA is happy to call for applications for the 2021 CASIE/ACEEA Graduate Student Award.
As an organization committed to promoting Indigenous peoples and education, CASIE/ACEEA encourages the submission of scholarly work from Indigenous graduate students for presentation at CASIE/ACEEA’s annual conference each year. Presentations that explore Indigenous education issues and methodologies, or have at their centre research on Indigenous peoples and education, are welcome. CASIE/ACEEA encourages proposals that broaden the definition of traditional scholarship to include innovative and creative research.
All university graduate students may submit an application for the Award, which is intended to support participation in Congress. Submitters must be current members of CASIE/ACEEA, have current graduate student status or have graduated less than one year from the date of the award, and have proposed a presentation for the CSSE annual conference. Preference will be given to Indigenous student applicants (please note your affiliations). If the applicant is one of a number of authors associated with the paper for application, the applicant must be first author. There must be included in the package at least one letter of nomination from a faculty member who can serve as a reference for the student and who will attest to the quality of the scholarly submission.
Please send complete applications by email to CASIE/ACEEA by March 8th, 2021. Once applications have been received, the executive committee of CASIE/ACEEA will read and adjudicate the proposals. In the event that any of the committee members have a conflict of interest with a student submitter, that member will recuse her/himself.
In order to move forward to adjudication, applications must include the following:
Please send applications via email to Aubrey Hanson, ajhanson@ucalgary.ca with “CASIE Graduate Student Award” in the subject line.

Michelle Scott
Teluisi Michelle Scott. I am a doctoral student at the Werklund School of Education, at the University of Calgary, and the Director of Indigenous Initiatives at St. Mary’s University; a small liberal arts university in Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary). I was gifted with the name Anaatsa'poopaki which means Pretty Plume Woman by Charlie Crow Chief (Owns Big Lodge) from Kainai in the St. Mary’s tipi in August of 2017. My kinship ties are Mi’kmaw and Irish/English from Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland), and my (re)search centers around learning how to be a good relative here, as I seek to (re)claim and (re)story my own complex and sacred belongingness outside of colonial logics, violence and duality. |
