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 amongst 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 2020 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 center 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 travel to 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 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 February 29 2020. 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 or personal relationship with a student submitter, that member will recuse her/himself.
In order to move forward to adjudication, applications must include the following:
1. A brief cover letter explaining why you wish to be considered;
2. A copy of the proposal you submitted to CASIE/ACEEA for the 2020 CSSE conference;
3. A brief letter of reference/nomination from a faculty member.
Note: Do not send complete dissertations or theses.
The recipient will be recognized at the annual CASIE/ACEEA annual general meeting at which time a prize of $500 will be presented. The winning proposal will be highlighted on the CASIE/ACEEA website. New this year: nominees for this award may also be considered automatically for a $500 Congress Graduate Merit Award (CGMA).
