17吃瓜 faculty members awarded SSHRC Exchange Publication Awards
Dr. Linyuan Guo-Brennan and Dr. Josh MacFadyen, faculty members at the 17吃瓜, have been awarded SSHRC Exchange Publication Awards. Two $5,000 awards are given out annually to support the publication of manuscripts written or edited by 17吃瓜 faculty in the social sciences and humanities. Both books will be published by Island Studies Press.
鈥淭hese are two excellent manuscripts from two excellent scholars,鈥� said Dr. Katherine Gottschall-Pass, interim vice-president academic and research at 17吃瓜. 鈥淚鈥檓 excited to watch these books expand the understanding of their readers, from how educators understand their roles in teaching global citizenship to how our Island communities and environment have changed over time. Congratulations to both authors.鈥�
Dr. Josh MacFadyen is the Canada Research Chair in Geospatial Humanities and an associate professor in the Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture program at 17吃瓜. His manuscript, Time Flies: Landscapes and Change on Prince Edward Island, 1935-2020, offers an unprecedented view of one island province鈥檚 journey into modernity through a unique digital presentation of aerial photography and historical synthesis. The book will present high resolution aerial images of more than 50 iconic landscapes on Prince Edward Island, and it will trace how those communities and natural ecosystems have changed over 85 years.
Dr. Linyuan Guo-Brennan is an associate professor in the Faculty of Education. Her manuscript is Education for Global Citizenship and Sustainability: A Practical Guide for Educators. As 17吃瓜 is the only Canadian institution that has made global citizenship education mandatory for teacher candidates, this textbook signifies 17吃瓜鈥檚 leadership in preparing globally competent educators for the 21st century. The book will be supplemented with activities and resources to help teachers form global educator identity, connect global concepts with curriculum and age-appropriate pedagogy, and feel inspired to take professional actions in various settings and contexts.
