Students

The New Rural Economy project provided the opportunity for 58 Concordia students to participate directly in ongoing social science research. As part of this national team of researchers and research assistants, NRE students have participated and presented at 11 national conferences and workshops, participated in fieldwork, data collection and analysis in 24 rural Canadian communities, authored or co-authored 41 published papers or reports, and have been team members on exchanges to Japan and Australia. NRE ‘alumni’ are now dispersed widely - working for NGO’s in Sierra Leone, for NATO in Sarajevo, doing research and teaching at US and Canadian universities, working as Senior Analysts for Health Canada, Statistics Canada, and Heritage Canada and completing MA’s and PhD’s at institutions across the country.

As a whole 120 BA, MA, PhD and Postdoctoral students from 14 Canadian universities have had roles as research assistants conducting household surveys, interviews and focus groups, doing data analysis and modeling exploring rural Canadian themes such as health care, services, capacity, environmental values, resource dependency, cohesion, religion, gender, governance, internet use, communication tools, and regional disparity. Over 250 NRE publications were authored or co-authored by students within our network.
