CASIE GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD 

Awards and  Nominations

2022 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 2022 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. Preference will be given to Indigenous student applicants (please describe your community affiliations in your cover letter). Submitters must be current members of CASIE/ACEEA, must have current graduate student status or have graduated less than one year from the date of the award, and must have proposed a presentation for the CSSE annual conference (ideally for CASIE but not necessarily). The applicant must be supported by a statement of nomination from a faculty member who can serve as a reference for the student and their work.
 
Please send complete applications by email to CASIE/ACEEA by March 1st, 2022. Once applications have been received, the executive committee of CASIE/ACEEA will read and adjudicate the nominations. (In the event of any conflicts of interest, committee members will recuse themselves.)
 
In order to move forward to adjudication, applications must include the following:
  1. A brief cover letter/statement introducing yourself and explaining why you wish to be considered (email format is fine);
  2. A copy of the proposal you submitted for the 2022 CSSE conference; 
  3. A very brief statement of support/nomination from a faculty member (email format is fine).
Recipient(s) will be recognized at the annual CASIE/ACEEA annual general meeting and will be sent a prize to support Congress costs. (Prize amounts in the range of $100-500 will be determined depending on the applicant pool and funds available.) Recipients will also be highlighted on the CASIE/ACEEA website. Nominees for this award will also be forwarded for automatic consideration for a Congress Graduate Merit Award (CGMA).
 
Please send applications via email to Aubrey Hanson, ajhanson@ucalgary.ca with “CASIE Graduate Student Award” in the subject line.
 
CASIE Executive 2021-2022: Aubrey Hanson, Jennifer MacDonald, Sara Davidson, Jackson Pind, Sharla Peltier, & Rebecca Stroud-Stasel

Lucy Fowler 
I am a Métis woman and a member of the Two Spirit Michif Local of the Manitoba Métis Federation. My ancestors took scrip in St. Andrews, Manitoba, and I also have ancestral and familial ties to Red River, Oxford House, Norway House, and Sioux Valley, as well as settler ancestry from the Orkney Islands and Carlow, Ireland. I am an academic and community organizer here in Winnipeg - I've been part of Red Rising Magazine which is an Indigenous led collective dedicated towards sharing Indigenous stories from our own perspectives for six years and as part of that work I co-founded Red Rising Education with other teachers in the collective. Most recently I co-founded the Mamawi Project: we seek to connect Métis folks through digital storytelling and community building. My doctoral research focuses on the educational experiences of urban Métis youth who engage in hip-hop creation and consumption. I utilize community-based research methodologies, and my work is influenced by Indigenous feminisms, anti-colonial and anti-racist theory, and queer theory.

I am an Indigenous (registered Métis, Coast Salish) researcher completing my full time PhD in Education (SCP Stream) at Lakehead University, completing my full time EdD in Education (Higher Educational Leadership Stream) at Western University and I work full time as a Director of International Student Services. I bring a significant background in internationalization (over 15 years) in Canadian higher education which helps me to understand the reconciliation that needs to happen between Indigenous Peoples and international students for Phd research and I am focusing my research on International Career Readiness for my EdD as I believe we need to do better in Canadian higher education at preparing and supporting international students to obtain better Career related employment pre-and-post graduation.
