Better late than never...
This spring and summer has brought a bumper crop of History graduate students. At May convocation
Jonathan Anuik and
Byron Plant received Doctor of Philosophy degrees, while
Sarah Nickel and
Christopher Paige took Master of Arts degrees.
Three more students successfully defended their theses over the summer and will walk the stage in the autumn:
Amanda Harrigan (M.A. candidate),
Alice Glaze (M.A. candidate) and
Jason Zorbas (Ph.D. candidate).
The recent theses of these (former) students show the diversity of research interests within the department, ranging from political activism (Harrigan and Nickel) and identities (Anuik, Glaze and Zorbas) to Canadian policy and administration (Paige and Plant).
Belated congratulations to all of these graduates for their hard work -- and best wishes for future successes!
