The Centre for Global Studies at Huron is deeply proud and honoured to announce the appointment of the following four scholars as Adjunct Professors:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dr. Randa Farah<\/strong>, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Western University<\/p>\n Dr. David Kanatawakhon\u2013Maracle<\/strong>, Lecturer, First Nations Studies Program, Western University<\/p>\n Dr. Ver\u00f3nica Schild<\/strong>, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, Western University<\/p>\n Dr. Prachi Srivastava<\/strong>, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Western University<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Mark Franke, Director of the Centre for Global Studies, explains that \u201ceach of these scholars are engaged in critically-oriented interdisciplinary research, writing, community- based actions, and teaching that relate richly with academic programs offered by the Centre.\u201d According to Dr. Franke, in accepting these appointments \u201cthese new colleagues allow students, faculty members, and community partners at the Centre for Global Studies to acknowledge and participate within a broader community of scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n In their positions as Adjunct Professors, Drs. Farah, Kanatawkhon\u2013Maracle, Schild, and Srivastava will have opportunities to provide mentorship and inspiration to Huron students both within and beyond the classroom. The broader Huron community will be invited to attend public events involving the Centre\u2019s new colleagues and engaging the social and intellectual issues at stake, respectively, in their scholarly work and public activities.<\/p>\n In addition to her faculty appointment in the Department of Anthropology at Western University, Dr. Randa Farah <\/strong>has a long history of involvement in the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford and has taught also in York University’s Centre for Refugee Studies. The core of her research is engaged with displaced Palestinian populations, focusing on questions of history, memory, and identity and Palestinian struggles for self\u2013determination. Relatedly, Dr. Farah studies national liberation movements amongst displaced Sahrawi people in Saharan Africa and is now focusing on similar issues with respect to Indigenous peoples in Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n While Dr. David Kanatawakhon\u2013Maracle’s <\/strong>current appointment at Western University is with its First Nation Studies program, he has a long history of teaching also in Western’s Department of Anthropology and Brock University’s Aboriginal Studies program. In all cases, Dr. Kanatawkhon\u2013Maracle has been a teacher of the Mohawk language. Across his career, Dr. Kanatawkhon\u2013Maracle has been a truly leading figure and community\u2013based scholar in the development of materials\u2014including dictionaries, textbooks, and other pedagogical tools\u2014in the teaching of both Mohawk and Oneida languages.<\/p>\n While a faculty member of the Department of Political Science at Western University, Dr. Ver\u00f3nica Schild<\/strong> served also as Director of Western’s Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism. Dr. Schild has since gone on to further her career as an independent scholar developing collaborative projects within several institutional and collegial contexts in both Europe and Latin America. Dr. Schild studies forms of political resistance to the rise of neoliberal regimes, with a particularly strong focus on feminist political movements, issues of gender, and development projects emphasising critical interrogations of social and political economies.<\/p>\n Dr. Prachi Srivastava<\/strong> recently accepted an appointment to Western’s Faculty of Education after several years as a faculty member in the School of International Development and Global Studies at the University of Ottawa, where she retains an Adjunct appointment. Dr. Srivastava is a critical scholar of global development, focusing her research on the ways in which forms of “low\u2013fee private schooling” are implemented in regional development strategies, particularly in Africa and Asia. She gives rich attention to the ways in which state and non\u2013state actors structure and constrain the education “policyscape” and the impact of this on education access for socially and economically disadvantaged groups and the right to education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Centre for Global Studies at Huron is deeply proud and honoured to announce the appointment of the following four scholars as Adjunct Professors: Dr. Randa Farah, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Western University Dr. David Kanatawakhon\u2013Maracle, Lecturer, First Nations Studies Program, Western University Dr. Ver\u00f3nica Schild, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, Western […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2997,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[132],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2995","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-quote","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-features","8":"post_format-post-format-quote","9":"czr-hentry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.huronresearch.ca\/curl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
