Patricia MARCHAK International Research Scholarship in Sociology

Award descriptionScholarships totalling $4,000 have been endowed in memory of Dr. Patricia Marchak (Ph.D.'70) former Dean of the Faculty of Arts who was a distinguished scholar, journalist and human rights advocate. Dr. Marchak aptly demonstrated that high quality sociological research can be conducted anywhere. These funds will offset the costs associated with international travel in support of research abroad. To be considered, candidates must be enrolled in the M.A. or Ph.D. program in the Department of Sociology and wish to conduct fieldwork research outside of Canada. Recommendations are made by the Department of Sociology in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
