I am a passionate scholar and artist who believes in strengthening communities through creative practices. Next fall, I will complete my final semester at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û’s Faculty of Arts, where I major in History and double minor in Health Geography and Art History.

In my second semester at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û, I took a class about book history, which opened my eyes to the importance of different agents within the publishing industry. I began to understand that editors, proofreaders, publishers, and typesetters, to name a few, are just as important as writers in the making of a book. This class, Materiality and Sociology of the Text with Professor Eli MacLaren, mentioned Véhicule Press and its influence in the field of Canadian literature.</p> Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:49:12 +0000 Julie Jacques 4207 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-zizi-mamoune-upstream-journal <p>I’m a rising third-year student at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û double majoring in Political Science and Psychology. My academic journey has been driven by a keen interest for understanding political dynamics and social justice issues as well as examining the influences of culture, group membership and relationships on individuals. Ultimately interested in the fields of law and journalism, my interests mostly stem from a desire to contribute to positive change in our society by shedding light on critical matters through effective communication.</p> Tue, 19 Sep 2023 19:29:29 +0000 Mamoune Zizi 4249 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-fion-zhen-jardins-de-metis <p>By the time I began my third year, I had enjoyed researching the histories of twentieth-century China and Chinese North America. The work of my mentors at the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California always maintained the simple adage that history is messy, complex, and that it takes incredible care to reassemble evidence and represent it as a coherent narrative.</p> Tue, 19 Sep 2023 19:34:56 +0000 Fion Zhen 4252 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-robert-black-unhcr-montreal <p>I am an International Development Studies student with a minor in East Asian Studies going into my fourth and final year at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û. Before applying to be an intern with UNHCR I had studied immigration and refugee issues in several of my classes. I have also enjoyed previous work experience in immigration so I was eager to pursue a new opportunity in the field. I was very interested in the internship opportunity with UNHCR because it would allow me to deepen my understanding of Canadian immigration and acquire a new ‘insider’ perspective of an institution working in the field.</p> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:23:45 +0000 Robert Black 4271 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-beth-hales-participatory-cultures-lab <p>My name is Beth Hales, and I’m from Saskatchewan going into my last year at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û pursuing a double major in Psychology and International Development with a minor in Behavioral Science.

As a second-year history student, spending my summer performing research was an invaluable opportunity that has greatly enriched my university experience.

As an undergraduate history student, I was hoping to find a summer position that aligned with my interests in Canadian history. But after a few days of searching the internet, I found myself at a loss. Discouraged, I spoke to a friend of mine about my dilemma, and in a stroke of good fortune, he informed me about the Arts Internship Office (AIO).</p> Thu, 14 Sep 2023 15:37:35 +0000 Adeline Fisher 4170 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-hannah-murray-78th-fraser-highlanders <p>This summer, I had the opportunity to intern with the 78<sup>th</sup> Fraser Highlanders, a historical and cultural association dedicated to the preservation of the memory and legacy of the Scottish soldiers of the 78<sup>th</sup> Fraser Highlander Regiment and their descendants.
