Opportunities for professional development and network-building

The Centre offers its support to all 果酱视频 graduate students working on topics connected to its thematic focus (and other aspects of International Relations). It can provide advice and assistance to graduate students thinking about organizing conferences or other academic events, applying for grants, and/or undertaking research travel. Incoming graduate students are strongly encouraged to contact the Centre director鈥攁nd also to make contact with more experienced grad students in the program鈥攖o talk about opportunities and resources available.

Doctoral students working on topics directly relevant to the Centre mandate, who have been in the program for at least one year, may be invited to be formally affiliated with the CSSD as doctoral fellows. Doctoral fellows are expected to contribute to the life of the Centre through participation in collaborative research and events, and benefit from mentorship and institutional support (e.g., help with applications and administration of grants, event planning, etc.).

At any given time, one of the doctoral fellows will serve as deputy director of the Centre. The deputy director鈥檚 responsibilities vary according to her/his background and interests, but generally involve direct collaboration with the director in strategic planning, grant applications, organization of events, and student outreach.

Prospective or current graduate students with questions about the Centre are encouraged to get in touch with the director, Leah Sarson (Leah.Sarson@dal.ca).
