New Research Grants for Bishop’s University Researchers

The following researchers have received research funding from the Fonds de recherche du Québec:

Dr. Vicki Chartrand in the Department of Sociology has been awarded an FRQSC New Academics Grant for a project entitled “Femmes autochtones disparues et assassinées et stratégies pour le changement: Leçons tirées des familles et des communautés” ($43,140).

Dr. Sarah-Myriam Martin-Brûlé in the Department of International Studies and Politics and colleague researchers from McGill and Université de Montréal have received funding from the FRQSC Team Support Program for a project entitled “La transformation des institutions chargées de la sécurité à l’échelle internationale” ($324,212).
